Museo Soumaya

Art meets architecture in this modern marvel

Housing over 66,000 works, this privately-owned museum dazzles with both its dramatic exterior and eclectic collections.

The giant silver building is one of the most iconic museums in Mexico City, and not only because of its art. Tiled with thousands of silver hexagons, the museum is one of the showiest pieces of architecture in the city.

Insider Insight

Admission is free, but the best time to visit is midweek when crowds are lighter. Head to the upper floors for Rodin’s sculptures and the sweeping dome under which they sit. Pair your visit with neighboring Museo Jumex for a full day of artistic immersion.
