A while ago I came across a Facebook post title, ‘If You Had To Choose One Museum In Mexico City, what would it be?', with the basic premise that the visitor will be in the city for just three days. I never got around to putting in my suggestion, but I enjoyed reading other people’s … Continue reading One CDMX Museum
