What you can expect
Begin your journey at the iconic National Museum of Anthropology, a masterpiece of 1960s Mexican architecture designed by one of the country’s most celebrated architects of the era. Discover how the building embodies pre-Hispanic cosmogony, and learn about the unique collaboration between the architect and renowned artists who brought indigenous worldviews to life through sculpture and design.
Continue to the Tamayo Museum of Contemporary Art, dedicated to the visionary artist Rufino Tamayo. This striking building, conceived by two influential architects in the early 1980s, reflects a modernist approach that harmonizes with its natural surroundings while honoring Mexico’s artistic legacy.
Just a short walk away, you’ll step into a remarkable example of 1960s design inspired by the aesthetics of the Space Age—a structure that captures the futuristic optimism of its time through form and function.
Conclude your tour at a historic hotel built to host VIP guests during the 1968 Olympic Games. Behind its walls lies a hidden trove of modern Mexican art, transforming the space into a unique blend of hospitality and gallery—a true “art hotel” that captures the spirit of its era.
