Centro Cultural Tijuana, Cultural center and museum in Zona Río, Tijuana, Mexico
Description
The Centro Cultural Tijuana is a cultural center and museum in the Zona Río neighborhood that brings together multiple spaces under one roof: a panoramic cinema, a theater, galleries with artworks, and exhibition halls. A botanical garden spreads across the entire grounds.
History
The building was created in 1982 following designs by two prominent Mexican architects who shaped a distinctive spherical structure for the cinema. Since then, it has become an important place where the region presents its history and culture.
Culture
The center reflects the history and identity of the Baja California region, and visitors can trace how local society developed through the exhibitions. The spaces show how people lived here and what meaning this place holds for understanding Mexican culture.
Practical
Visitors find various activities there: film screenings, art exhibitions, theater performances, workshops, and learning programs for all ages. The grounds are laid out so you can walk comfortably between the different areas.
Did you know?
The most striking feature is the spherical building for the cinema, which locals simply call "La Bola." Inside, the walls become the screen, and films about Mexico surround viewers from all directions.
