Museo Universitario de Ciencias y Artes Roma, museum in Mexico City
The Museo Universitario de Ciencias y Artes Roma is a museum in Mexico City that showcases exhibitions connecting art and science. The four-story building from the 19th century houses exhibition spaces, a library focused on contemporary art, a cafe, interactive displays, and areas for workshops and community activities.
The museum was founded in 1999 as an extension of another institution at Ciudad Universitaria. It relocated several times before settling in its current 19th-century building in Colonia Roma.
The museum serves the local community as a place to reflect on urban issues and how creativity can address them. It brings together artists, academics, and residents who share ideas about their city and its future.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm with free admission. The Monterrey metro station on Line 1 is nearby, making it easy to reach by public transport or on foot from surrounding areas.
The museum is part of the UNAM museum network and brings university research directly to the public. It has evolved from displaying pure science to exploring contemporary urban themes like city planning and environmental issues.
