About
Museo Kaluz is a museum in Mexico City, housed in a historic building on Avenida Hidalgo in the Centro Histórico. It is set in the city's old centre, where the streets around the Zócalo carry layers of centuries-old architecture, so the building itself is part of the visit.
What you will see
The museum's collection is devoted to Mexican art, covering works from the 18th to the 21st centuries. That span allows a visitor to follow how painting and related forms in Mexico changed over more than two hundred years, from the colonial period through to contemporary work.
Planning your visit
- Location: Av. Hidalgo 85, Centro Histórico, Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City.
- Best suited to: visitors interested in Mexican art history, or anyone who wants a museum visit within walking distance of the historic core.
- Around it: the Centro Histórico offers a dense mix of churches, plazas, markets and other museums, so a visit here can be combined easily with a walk through the neighbourhood.
Because the museum is in a historic building, visitors may find the rooms and the architecture as interesting as the artworks themselves. Check current opening times and admission details before you go, as these are not covered here.
