About
Museo Soumaya is a museum in Mexico City, set in the Granada neighbourhood of the Miguel Hidalgo borough at Boulevard Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. It is a place to come for art, and for the building itself, which is modern and curving in form and stands out in its surroundings.
What you will see
The museum houses an extensive art collection, and much of it is European. Visitors interested in the broad sweep of European art will find plenty to look at across the galleries. The collection is large enough to reward a slow visit rather than a quick walk-through.
The building
The structure is one of the main reasons people visit. Its modern, curving shape makes a striking contrast with the more traditional architecture common in the city, and it is worth taking time to look at it from the outside as well as inside.
Planning your visit
- Allow time for a steady pace through a large collection.
- Pair the visit with a walk around the Polanco and Granada area, which offers cafés and shops nearby.
- Check opening times and any entry details directly with the museum before you set out, as these are not covered here.
Museo Soumaya suits visitors who enjoy European art and architecture and who want a museum with a distinctive setting in the capital.
