This is an amazing museum for contemporary art.  The price is really cheap.  And there are many different exhibitions going on.  Although some rooms was closed. They where setting new exhibitions. The current exhibitions where very good.  Specially the one about protests and  the people who “disappeared “ during this period.  There is an installation in the shape of a hut or  a house. But with inclination, it is really awesome. The museum is very well designed and has various spaces that daylight comes in.
The museum shop has a good selection of items and the restaurant is very nice. Specially the patio side.
This in of the museums in the city that one should really visit.
Metro 3 stop University. (Last stop).  And in university city the buses are for free. So you can hop on.

A great museum for up and coming artists with unconventional and unique styles and personalities. A bit of a drive from the heart of CDMX but worth every bit. The architecture of the museum itself is amazing especially with how they've built it together with its surroundings.

The museum is just great, went to see the Mayra Landau exhibit and I was very impressed by how well curated the exhibit was. I really like the artist's time line and the pieces that represented each part of her life. Plan your visit, there are a couple options of how to get there one is by Metro (estacion Universidad) and the other one by Metro Bus to the CCU stop, look for the PUMAbus which is the transportation used inside the campus and go to the Culture section of the campus. The building is beautifully designed and it is really worth a visit. Check first if the exhibits are still available when you decide to go.

The building is very interesting. I didn't get to see the collection/exhibition because it was closed. Only go if you plan to visit the University district.

Interesting museum, not very big and with godo art pieces. Overall, I felt that all the art pieces were a bit too overcrowded and hard to focus on a single piece. Suggestion is to place fewer pieces but with a better exposition. Overall a museum to be seen kn Mexico city.
