We were two couples who wanted to focus on the highlights of this museum. Our guide, Neene, fulfilled our wishes splendidly--she was knowledgeable, friendly, energetic and spoke good English. We highly recommend a private tour with Neene!

Explore the heart of Mexico’s artistic heritage on this guided tour of the Museo Nacional de Arte (MUNAL), located in a neoclassical building in Mexico City’s historic center. The museum houses an exceptional collection of Mexican art from the 16th to the early 20th century. Led by an expert guide, you’ll discover masterpieces that reflect the country’s evolution—from colonial rule to independence and early modernism.
