I will do a few posts to catch up. Kerry and I spent time in Chapultepec Park visiting the Tamayo Museum and the Contemporary Art Museum. The Tamayo focuses on modern and contemporary works, many from international artists, housed in a simple but striking concrete building surrounded by trees.
The Contemporary Art Museum, right next door, features major Mexican artists like Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Rufino Tamayo himself, along with rotating exhibits that tie Mexico’s past to its modern identity. Both museums are manageable in size and thoughtfully curated — a quiet, reflective contrast to the bustle of the park outside.
