This is a really interesting museum. The collection is very broad and interesting. I think that the people who wrote that there is too much « filler » are not used to spending the substantial part of the day in an art museum. Of course, this is Mexico and the highlights concern Mexican art but there are significant works by Rodan and other European artists, It is also free. And the building in which the museum is located is also very interesting, reminiscent of the Guggenheim,

Museo Soumaya is a wonderful museum in Mexico City and I highly recommend a visit if you're in the city. The building itself is worth a visit for its architecture but the art collection is more than I expected. Paintings and sculptures from very well known artists including three pieces by Vincent van Gogh. I went on a Monday morning and had no wait to enter and there was no entrance fee.

A must see! Free admission. Paintings and sculptures by masters. You could see Da Vinci, Rodin, Diego, Monet, Dali etc under one roof. Beautiful building with 6 floors of cultural gems. Very well maintained with friendly but strict staff, better not go close to the art. Con: Only one. No descriptions or brochures in English. I could not read and understand descriptions as they were only in Spanish.

There is so, so much art in here! And weirdly that's the problem. It's like three museums worth of art got mashed into one museum. Given that it's free and there's a lot of amazing work to see here from across continents and centuries, I shouldn't complain but I found it overwhelming and weirdly claustrophobic. My advice: go during the week and ground yourself in the idea that you're going to be seeing a huge amount of art without very much curation. And then go ... there's definitely something for everyone!

One recommendation, take the elevator to the 5th floor and walk the ramp to the sixth and start from there down to each floor. My best floor or section or category was the Communication (2nd floor) the collection is impressive by all means. Rodin collection is the best and most extensive outside Paris. It is free …. Yes, it is absolutely free of charge. 6600 pieces of artwork in 6 floors.

I absolutely love Museo Soumaya and have visited numerous times! This museum is a standout, not only for its stunning architecture but also for its impressive and diverse art collections. On my recent visit, I was particularly captivated by Gabriel García Márquez's original manuscript of "One Hundred Years of Solitude." The breadth of the collections, which range from masterpieces by Rodin and European old masters to significant Mexican artists and even rare historical manuscripts, is truly fascinating​. What makes Museo Soumaya even more exceptional is that it offers all of this for free. Yes, it's completely free to the public, which is incredibly generous. The museum's design is both innovative and welcoming, featuring a unique façade covered with 16,000 hexagonal aluminum tiles that shine brilliantly in the city's light​. The museum's environment is well-maintained, clean, and equipped with amenities like free Wi-Fi and air conditioning, making it a comfortable place to spend several hours. The staff is friendly and helpful, contributing to a pleasant visit every time. I must extend my gratitude to Carlos Slim for creating such a magnificent place that makes art accessible to everyone. If you have the chance to visit Mexico City, do not miss the opportunity to explore Museo Soumaya. It's an enriching experience that you won't forget.

Just a few days ago, my wife and I visited this museum for the first time. Due to time constraints, we enjoyed only two floors, the Old Masters, and the Mexican Art ones. Both were fantastic, nothing dull or uninspiring there. We wholeheartedly recommend this attraction to all CDMX visitors. It is absolutely true that greater European collections can be found in several other countries, but I doubt that any other like Soumaya's collection exists anywhere else in Latin America. I particularly enjoyed the Brueghel's piece on "Flemish Proverbs". Many other pieces by Tintoreto, Ribera, Zurbaran, Rubens, Van Dyck, etc were equally notable. My wife and I have traveled extensively in Mexico, and this Museum has been the best to admire and enjoy Mexican Art in general. Yes, do not miss Soumaya if you have more than just a passing interest on Mexican Art and History. Two tips; try to visit early (it open at 10:30am), before the large school groups arrive, and keep in mind that Soumaya does not have a cafeteria. But the museum store is nice.

Well i am big fan of history and some art so had to visit this museo, because I was living like 5-10 min of walking to it. Wasn't expecting much or fancy, But it was awesome. Really nice experience about it. The design, the art all was in a flow :) Really recommend to visit, maybe you hit an extra some painting or sculpture expo, because they have some private collection exhibiting. Enjoy a light walk tour around wonderful art :)

Pleasantly surprised by our visit. As museum's go the biggest draw is the architecture and when you first catch sight of this building in person it is quite stunning. When you enter the museum and walk the five floors of the collection we are surprised. Many reviews suggested the art collection was poor but we did not find that to be true. While there may not be any very easy recognizable masterpieces here, there was a wide variety of art with multiple examples from different art styles. We spent nearly 3 hours here.

The Museo Soumaya is an amazing gift that Carlos Slim has given to Mexico City with his brilliant art collection, along with fantastic modern architecture. Not only does Señor Slim share it with the public, but entry is free and the museum is open just about every day. I was part of a group of six people guided by Jose Vicente Figueroa, who is well educated and knowledgeable in the world of art and art history. Having traveled throughout the world where I've done many tours, Jose is among the best of the best guides you'll ever have. He speaks both English and Spanish flawlessly, and exhibited those skill during the tour as I was the only American. Book him if you get chance. The Soumaya is six floors of incredible art. The white marble lobby makes quite a first impression with life-size replicas of Rodin's Gates of Hell sculpture and Michelangelo's David. There's also a brilliant mosaic tile piece by famed Mexican artist Diego Rivera. Then it was on to the six floor, which features many Rodin sculptures and paintings, including The Thinker and The Kiss. As you walk down ramps, other floors are dedicated to Mexican and European artists such as Van Gogh and Joan Miro and Salvador Dali, along with a floor of religious themes and paintings such as the Tears of St. Peter. There are also Faberge eggs and collections of 20th century artifacts. The great art, along with Jose's guiding, made it a special day.
