Wonderful place that really gathers and conjures up the illustrious past of colonial Mexico and Latin America. There are many artifacts on display that show European influence on colonial life in the New World; from every day furniture, paintings and even religious relics made from pure silver. Take your time and relax at the open air court adjacent to the museum and relax with a coffee. The main drawback is that it's missing an audio tour of the museum displays and information in English for the foreign visitors.
Tim Burton's exhibition was breathtaking. I was surprised by his amazing artwork.
A great place to visit, even for American tourists. Small enough that you can get through it in 1-2 hours, but focused enough that you can learn quite a bit about the history of Mexico in the 20th century even if you can't read much Spanish. If you can't, however, it'd be wise to have at least a very basic knowledge of the broad changes in mexican politics over the last hundred years. There is no English curation or exhibit information. The images in the museum speak for themselves, for the most part.
Such a great location, specially now with the Tim Burton exhibition. If you are in Mexico City and you love his work, don't miss it.
Best place to get a lot of Mexico art and culture and much more I love it
A beautiful museum, and one of the best kept. Wish it had descriptions in English too.
The Franz Mayer museum is my favorite in the city because it has exhibitions of design and quality art: World Press Photo and Biennial Ceramics are the highlights of the year.
It is accessible to all users. Sadly there are no free Sundays, only Tuesdays and only for permanent exhibitions.
Either way, it's a very nice place, they have a central plaza with a fountain, cafeteria service, a very luxurious library where you can request books if you take the credential out of the place (getting it costs 40 pesos).
An excellent place to be at the forefront.
One of my favorites, home of the annual World Press Photo and multiple great exhibitions during the year, beautiful architecture and a central patio with trees and a fountain that takes you apart from the daily rush
Beautiful architecture, fresh gardens and interesting new exhibitions.
Excelent place to see a lot great pieces of history

It's one of my favorite museums, they always have great and creative art work, including textiles as well. Great location, quiet place.
Love the whole place. Always something new to learn and have a great time.
Fabulous. The history of the place and the variety of exhibitions they have. A must see if you're visiting the city.
Great place to scape the city! I love it's garden!
One of the largest decorative arts collection in Latin America housed in a very beautiful historical building. This is a must go if you're visiting Mexico City
A collection of fine works of art spamming over 300 years! And a dam fine you at that. A must go for 50 peso. I was very surprised I went to 5 or 6 museo while in Mexico city. From painting,furniture, clothes and forged silver and gold. just go!
