Museo Kaluz

Museo Kaluz is an art museum in the historic center of Mexico City housed in a restored building with 18 exhibition spaces distributed across three levels. The rooms are climate-controlled and present a wide range of works from different time periods.

The building was originally Hotel de Cortés, a hostel dating from the 1600s that operated as a lodging place for centuries. Over time it was transformed and now functions as an art museum.

The museum displays works by Mexican and foreign artists from different periods, including those who fled the Spanish Civil War. The collection shows a conversation between local and international artistic traditions.

The museum is open from Wednesday through Monday and offers a comfortable environment for exploring. Student discounts are available along with free entry for young children, and the climate-controlled spaces ensure a pleasant visit regardless of weather.

The museum features a terrace with views of the surroundings where visitors can enjoy the scenery, while the galleries below use specialized climate control systems. This combination of outdoor space and curated indoor galleries creates an unexpected experience in the heart of the city.
