Museum with more than 6,000 works from the magnate's universal art collection, from pre-Columbian times to the 20th century

This recent museum, which opened in 2011, is owned by Mexican multimillionaire Carlos Slim. On display on six floors are more than 6,000 works from the tycoon's universal art collection, which spans thirty centuries (you read that right!), from pre-Columbian times through the 20th century. The building designed by architect Fernando Romero is original, with its hexagonal aluminium tiles. The collection (including sculptures by Auguste Rodin) is very beautiful, but the museography is non-existent. A pity, even if the visit remains interesting.

Magnifique musée dans un bâtiment avant-gardiste en forme de diabolo, recouvert de plaques hexagonales d'aluminium. La seule ouverture est la porte d'entrée. Il y a 6 niveaux; on monte en ascenseur et l'on redescend par une rampe hélicoïdale. On y découvre des sculptures de Rodin, de la peinture ayant trait à Venise (exposition temporaire), de l'Impressionnisme, de la peinture européenne, des objets sculptés en ivoires d'Asie.
