Casa del Lago Juan José Arreola, Cultural center in Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico.
Casa del Lago UNAM is a cultural center in Miguel Hidalgo with multiple exhibition spaces, a theater, and conference rooms housed in a French-style building. The rooms are organized to accommodate various types of events and activities simultaneously.
The building was completed in 1908 under President Porfirio Diaz and initially served as an automobile club before becoming part of UNAM in 1930. This transition marked a shift when the site became devoted to academic and cultural purposes.
The center hosts contemporary art exhibitions, theater performances, concerts, and film screenings throughout the year. These events attract artists and visitors from across the city who gather here for cultural experiences.
The center is open Wednesday through Sunday, so visitors can plan their visits accordingly during these days. The spaces are designed for different group sizes, making it accessible whether you visit alone or with others.
The building retains its original masonry construction from 1908 and offers direct views of Chapultepec Castle from its terrace. These preserved original elements give the space a sense of continuity with its past.
