Museo del Objeto del Objeto, Art Nouveau museum in Colonia Roma, Mexico City, Mexico.
The Museo del Objeto del Objeto is an Art Nouveau building in Colonia Roma housing over 100,000 cataloged items. The collection includes packaging, photographs, advertisements, and everyday objects that document Mexico's cultural history.
The museum opened in 2010, based on a collection that Bruno Newman built over more than 40 years. The objects span different periods reaching back to 1810 and showcase commercial and everyday products.
The collection shows how everyday items like bottle designs, packaging, and advertisements shaped Mexican society across generations. Through these objects, you can see how people's tastes and ways of living changed over time.
The museum is located on Colima Street and is open to visitors throughout the week. It is best to visit during daytime hours to view the exhibitions in good light and to have enough time for exploring.
The building features a fence with love locks where visitors attach padlocks following traditions similar to those in European cities. This personal touch adds an emotional layer to the museum visit that goes beyond simply looking at objects.
