Hugo ReevesJune 30, 2015The art is beautiful, and it's completely free. There is free WiFi, and there are 6 floors of Carlos Slim's illustrious and extensive art collection. I recommend it if you are traveling. Es muy bueno.

Ana BarnesAugust 2, 2016Amazingly stunning museum, you get caught by it when you first set your eyes on it, one of the most beautiful buildings you'll get to see in the city; and its exhibitions are beautiful and diverse!
GayngoodJanuary 2, 2018a lot of European art, eek. But nonetheless a great museum with fabulous facade and an immaculate bathroom tbh. The food vendors outside are also noteworthy. Get a gordita and a passion fruit drink
Beena KalaiyaDecember 30, 2018Go directly to the 5th floor for Rodin sculptures - skip the rest. Do try the food stalls outside the museum. They serve refreshing passion fruit drink, tostadas, gorditas and quesadillas.
bastian baumeisterDecember 13, 2014the sheer amount of works from many famous creators is more impressive than the museum's concept (if there is such a thing). information only in spanish (also with the advertised app). excellent wifi.
Paula MadeiraDecember 1, 2021Free museum and it is a very good one! Huge, amazing pieces, so worthy! Reserve 2-3h to see the whole place
𝙶𝚘𝚗𝚣𝚊𝚕𝚘 𝙰𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚊𝚜April 12The building is the most interesting part of the museum, whose contents are an odd mix of items. The space is basically a glorified warehouse for Slim’s collection.
Amelia LathamFebruary 20, 2016Gorgeous museum, amazing architecture and amazing art collection including some of my faves such as Monet, Rodin, Van Gogh, Degas, etc
Enock Pio UlleFebruary 22, 2020By far the best art museum outside of Europe and the US. The Italian and Spanish paintings in the collection make it a must whenever you are in Mexico City.
Tavon .December 27, 2015Free museum with some of Carlos Slim's collection. Not among the most interesting of museums, but the exhibit on the top floor and the ivory exhibit are worth seeing.
Odile RoujolFebruary 13, 2017Incredible architecture and for those loving French arts ... 19th and 20th century, you should be happy.
Jessica FengFebruary 19, 2018Inside is not necessary to look at (both architecturally and collection-wise), but exterior makes for a good photo especially at sunset
Stephan Van DamDecember 31, 2014Architecturally stunning but an embarrassment inside. Hummels everywhere and the main show about Sophia Loren's dresses. Dios Mio. Slim pickings indeed.
- Jaime T GDecember 2, 2018Has some punctual interesting works by Botticelli, Ribera and Delacroix. The rest I would only recommend it if you’re kin to any of the collection interests.
Eunice KimSeptember 12, 2015Honestly, it's a lot more fun on the outside than on the inside. The collection displays are chaotic and it feels a bit kitschy. But it's free!
Kitt HodDecember 8, 2018Arrive a half hour after opening to avoid the lines; photography allowed with no flash; use the elevator to start at the top and spiral down through art of the ages.
Ricardo NouelAugust 13, 2016Its a Museum that takes more than a day to view the large amount of art and exhibits its houses, minimum a full day.
Mike McBryanOctober 19, 2014Free! It's quite a walk to the top, but worth it for the Rodin's and Dhali's
Thomas ThommyJanuary 1, 2018Great architecture sponsored by Carlos slim - free entry this long waiting times
⚜️Bulent Sencan⚜️September 3, 2019It's an amazing personal museum. If you come to Mexico City, you should visit this museum.
Ashley DandoFebruary 13, 2020Great building but the citation of the displays is terrible. Phones next to dresses next to oil paintings. It’s disjointed and not worth seeing. Enjoy the building and leave
Emmiliese ClemmApril 13, 2016Stunning building on the outside. Worth walking into the entryway, but no need to see the art. Far too much crammed in there (most packed exhibits I've seen) without explanation or a storyline.
Feernando GarciaDecember 16, 2014Excelent, Dali focused. If running out of time go from top to bottom. Nothing like the rest museums in Mexico these is a good one.
Michele GMarch 17, 2017Biggest collection of Rodin's pieces, and a good variety of impressionist paintings. In a random disposition.
Fred WilsonOctober 2, 2016Antiquities and paintings from the 15th century. A stark departure from the architecture
Karin GattringerJuly 23Free entrance. It‘s overwhelming at times, too much in one place, little focus on key pieces.
Gagan AgrawalAugust 29, 2011Take a elevator to the top and start from there, coming down and covering each floor. its less tiring!!
