I went to this brand spanking new museum (map no 47) a couple of months back, a few days after it opened. I didn't go inside. I wanted to. I was willing to pony up the rather steep 55 pesos entrance fee. But there was one little issue. Before handing over any money, I checked … Continue reading Museum of Memories and Tolerance

Museum of Memories and Tolerance
Earlier this week, a new museum opened its doors to the general public. Not an old museum that's been renovated, like the National Museum of Culture.

A specific one, not just to check out the exhibts. The corner stones of the building are, apparently, pieces of the pre … Continue reading Mexico City Museum
