MEXICO CITY MUSEUMS
Mexico City’s rich history extends back to 1325, passing through its
thoroughly modern present and colonial Spanish influences before finally arriving at the island throne of the Aztec
empire, Tenochtitlan, upon which the city today sits. With such a diverse heritage, and more history being made
every day, the Mexican capital has gone to great lengths to ensure that none of it be forgotten, developing one of
the most comprehensive museum collections on the planet. Today the city’s beautifully maintained vestiges of the
old have blended with the unrestricted opulence of the new, creating, in the process, a one-of-a-kind destination
for history buffs and luxury enthusiasts alike.

visitors neither into the future nor past, but instead sideways, offering a different perspective of today’s most influential creators, including
local artists like Frida Kahlo and Rufino Tamayo.

DOWNTOWN MEXICO / MEXICO CITY
In perfect counterpoint to Museo de Arte Moderno is the Museo Nacional De Antripología and its cache of stunning artifacts and artwork.
A proverbial time capsule containing the whole of Mexico’s colorful, pre-Colombian history, this anthropological gem is the most visited
museum in Mexico, attracting visitors to its halls with ancient Aztec sundials, a dedicated Mayan exhibit, and much more. Cap it all off at
DOWNTOWN Mexico, a boutique Design Hotel that blends both old and new by juxtaposing raw industrial design against the cobblestone
streets of the Centro Histórico district, which is, itself, a museum dedicated to Mexico City’s diverse past.

PALACIO POSTAL / MEXICO CITY
Products of Mexico City wealth both past and present, Museo Soumaya—owned and operated by the foundation of the world’s richest man,
Carlos Slim—and Castillo de Chapultepec, the one time home of the presidential family that now calls the Museo Nacional de Historia its
tenant, are also must-visits. Boasting nearly $700 million worth of art from Slim’s private collection—including works by Van Gogh, Matisse,
and Dali—Museo Soumaya also serves a noble purpose, granting free access to everyone. Then, after a day spent perusing Museo Nacional
de Historia’s 12 history-laden rooms, head back down Chapultepec Hill for a tour of Mexico City’s post-office headquarters, Palacio Postal,
and its stunning, Italian-inspired architecture, before slipping into St. Regis Mexico City’s St. Regis Suite, featuring a Yabu Pushelberg design
that is, itself, a work of art.

Of course, if you only have time for one of Mexico City’s seemingly bottomless bevy of museums and historical havens, then Palacio de
Bellas Artes should be it. Old-world in both scale and grandeur, the premier cultural center in all of Mexico is as overwhelming inside as it
is out, housing murals from the likes of Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros, as well as the National Theatre of Mexico, who stage their
performances beneath the palace’s golden domes. In addition to domestic performances, international institutions also flock to this icon,

Chamber Orchestra and the Johann Strauss Orchestra of Vienna will be in residency, performing a variety of classics that are sure to bring
their rich heritages and cultural roots to an entirely new audience. Eventually, however, it will come time to pull yourself away, and thankfully
