This is a museum located in a beautiful "ex-hacienda": a colonial building of the XVII century. It has a great garden, with peacocks and Mexican dogs ("xoloitzcuintles"). Dolores Olmedo, who used to model for Diego Rivera, lived in this place. In 1994, she decided to share her Mexican art collection and opened this museum. Here you will find paintings from Rivera, Kahlo and Beloff, archaelogical pieces from different Mesoamerican cultures, and decorative handcrafts from many parts of the country. I love this museum because it gives an excellent example of Mexican art in all its forms, and the place is really peaceful and enjoyable...even in Mexico City!

One of the reasons why this museum is peaceful is its location: far from the main touristic attractions, in the southern part of the city. However, you can stop to visit on the way to Xochimilco. The address is Av. Mexico 5843, La Noria, Xochimilco. Phone (5255)5555-1221
The nearest station is "La Noria" in the light train "Tren Ligero".
