My wife and I went here during a stay in Chapultepec Park, and we weren't super impressed. We couldn't really connect to much of the modern art. We know that modern art (unless you are a die-hard modern art enthusiast) can be hit-or-miss, and this sadly was more of a miss. Thankfully, the museum is small enough that you can briskly move through it in a short amount of time. And its saving grace is that it houses Frida Kahlo's most famous work, Las Dos Fridas. My wife and I feel that our trip to this museum was almost a pilgrimage just to see this piece by Frida!

It was free to enter, and although the modern art was impressive, we went here as we thought we could see a Frida Kahlo piece. Sadly it was not being exhibited at the time. You had to wear masks inside the museum and they had a one way system in place. It was a nice thing to do whilst wandering through the Bosque de Chapultepec.

I quite enjoyed it, spending over two hours here. I especially liked the small gallery with a temporary exhibit of a photographer, Alvarez. I especially like a large black and white drawing of a muscular Mexican woman dancing, who represented the Mexican mestizo/a the blending and celebration of indigenous and Spanish cultures There is another large, temporary exhibit of the gay and LBGTQ scene in Mexico in the 20th Century, including the scary AIDS years, with paintings, photos, newspaper clippings, some of which are disturbing, others quite moving. I discovered that in order to avoid using masculine and feminine endings, the x is used place of the o or a. Eg. "Mexicanxs"

There are wonderful elements from the permanent collection that are a must see, and the seasonal exhibition on Pop Art was provocative and compelling. There is also an adjacent outdoor sculpture museum that is a must see. This is a very important cultural stop and interesting building architecturally. Great for a few hours stop over.
