Soumaya Museum

Museo Soumaya is a striking, free-admission art museum in Mexico City’s Nuevo Polanco district. Housed in a shimmering, hexagonal-tiled structure by architect Fernando Romero, it showcases billionaire Carlos Slim’s collection: European Old Masters (Rodin, Dalí, El Greco), Mexican art, and decorative arts spanning centuries. Exhibits rotate across several floors, including a notable Rodin gallery. The building’s sculptural form and panoramic top-floor views add to the experience. It’s a good choice for art lovers and architecture enthusiasts, and an easy cultural stop near shopping and dining at Plaza Carso; expect crowds on weekends.
