Description:
Infamous Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo managed to amass an impressive collection of art which includes some of the masters of the modern art world. In 1979 he began construction of a museum to house his gems as well as visiting exhibitions. The result, The Museo Rufino Tamayo is an architectonic feat (by architects Teodoro González de León and Abraham Zabludovsky) with nine exhibition rooms, a central patio, and some of the most innovative artworks in Latin America and the world. Definitely worth a visit.
