Museo Tamayo
Founded in Mexico City in 1981 by artist Rufino Tamayo. The museum exhibits international artists as well as a distinguished collection of modern and contemporary art.
Paseo de la Reforma 51, Bosque de Chapultepec, Miguel Hidalgo
Founded in 1981, the Museo Tamayo presents original exhibitions of the most representative aspects of the international contemporary art scene. In addition, it exhibits its modern and contemporary art collections as well as the oeuvre of its founder, the artist Rufino Tamayo.
The museum aims to stimulate dialogue serving as a platform for the various projects that are being developed in different areas of cultural production, including design, architecture and publishing, amongst others.
The building was the first major museum in Mexico built with private funds, with Tamayo participating in its design, which won the Premio Nacional de Arte in 1982. The Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes (INBA) has run the museum since 1986 and in 2012, the facility was expanded from three halls to five.
