Museo de Arte de la SHCP

The Museo de Arte de la SHCP holds an unusual government art collection shaped by Mexico's tax-payment-in-kind program, which lets artists settle tax debts by donating work. The result is a mix of established names and contemporary pieces, with Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Rufino Tamayo, and younger artists sharing space.

It is a good Centro Histórico stop if you want art without the scale or crowds of the city's major museums.
