Franz Mayer Museum, Art museum in Historic downtown of Mexico City, Mexico
The Franz Mayer Museum displays decorative arts from the 16th to 19th centuries, including furniture, ceramics, glassware, and an extensive collection of Mexican silverwork.
The museum building served as San Juan de Dios hospital from the late 16th century until its transformation into an exhibition space, which opened in 1986.
The institution holds over 9,500 pieces that represent daily life objects from Mexico, Puebla, and Guanajuato, with only 28 percent currently exhibited.
Located in Plaza Santa Veracruz, the museum offers guided tours, workshops, temporary exhibitions, and maintains a specialized library with over 14,000 volumes.
The collection originated from stockbroker Franz Mayer, who established a trust fund with the Bank of Mexico before his death in 1975.
