Wonderful little museum with Mexican antiques. went on a lovely September Saturday afternoon. Although there is a paid parking lot, we were fortunate to find free street parking. There were some lovely artworks and art examples. A lovely portion about Frida Kahlo was also included. a lot of her art and personal items. incredibly impressive! It was also free.

Who are the founders of the National Museum of Mexican art?

Tom Jennings | Oct 5, 2018
Ken R | Oct 5, 2018
