What a fantastic place great architecture, what little substance is spoiled by the over bearing guards who tell off each visitor as if prison inmates. The moment one is lost in the audio visual presentation, tap tap move along, tap tap, don’t lean, tap tap don’t touch (it is an interactive museum) if you like control, to be watched and learn little then visit. (The best was the scale model of Puebla) Mostly in Spanish

This stunning modern palace holds lots of interactive exhibits on the baroque period. There was an immersive exhibit by Pedro Freideberg that simply cannot be described, one has to be immersed in it to truly appreciate it's majesty. Other halls approach the baroque from many angles - painting, architecture, theater and music.

Nice museum to learn about baroque art from Mexico and other parts of the world.

The museum provides an encyclopedic examination of the baroque period, and its influence on architecture, art, fashion, music, and literature, with a special focus on Mexico. Displays are annotated in Spanish and English (with occasional French and German). All housed in a gorgeous post-modern architectural marvel of a building. During our visit there were at least 20 times more security guards than visitors, which seems a sad commentary.

Great architecture and design. The temporary exhibits were spectacular when I visited. The permanent collection could be improved to match the design.

An architectural gem in Puebla, the Museo Internacional del Barroco offers a complete visit to the history and evolution of the baroque period which touched all forms of art, from painting, architecture, theater, music, etc. Don’t expect a huge art collection but rather a learning experience housed in an impressive museum. Free on-site parking.

Incredible exhibits, wide range, multilingual signs. Excellent.

Beautiful museum. The majority of the exhibits are "interactive" yet they are "closed" due to the pandemic policy. If this is the case, the price should be reduced. Or at least, get creative and provide some gloves so we can actually learn something and interact with the exhibits. The museum is not worth it unless you can actually enjoy the exhibits (especially if you are traveling with kids) The park next to the museum is beautiful! Make sure you take the time to explore the park.

Fabulous new museum of the baroque period. It is a ways out from town, so you do have to make an effort to get there. The setting of the museum is beautiful. The architecture is breathtaking and interior light atrium spaces ( look up) enhance the exhibit spaces. Make time to eat at the restaurant. The food is excellent, the service is wonderful, and the view is breathtaking. And it is actually a good value for the money.

Saturday afternoon in late June of 22 and I had the entire building to myself. The only other people were the guards and there were many of them. Plenty of English to read if you don't read Spanish. It's a very uniquely designed building. I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.

I've been to museums all over the world and this was my least favorable museum experience by far. The guards and docents are incredibly unwelcoming to the point of being adversarial. While the collection is adequate, the presentation is uninspired. The building is fantastic but nothing else rises above mediocre. Every single individual involved with the museum needs to spend a week at Museo Amparo and learn how you engage and welcome visitors, display work in a way that fosters interest and curiosity, and treat guests in a way that makes them want to return.

Excellent museum. Modern, interactive, it shows not just art, but explains the history and context of the Boroque period. Truly a must when in Puebla

Beautiful museum for learning about "barroco" uprising. Head to the cathedrals/churches right after-downtown puebla. Also youll enjoy the outside pool area, very nice sculptures of famous people. Dnt foget upstairs aswell.

Museum covers about 8 different aspects of baroque period (architecture, theatre, music, etc). Very immersive. I appreciated that everything was translated to English

I had no idea what Baroque was until I visited this museum. The staff I spoke with had excellent English. A lot of the information is also in English. Probably because I was the only visitor I felt the staff were watching my every move. Definitely worth a visit.

Visited on a Tuesday around noon. Free Admission in March. Very professional staff, safe and secure. Minimal people traffic during our 2 hour visit. Plenty of space for viewing privately. It is immaculately maintained and a wonderful place to view and learn history. The building is very accessible and easy to walk, many washrooms, and seating areas. The outside water feature and architecture are a treat for your eyes. We ended with a lovely walk through the gardens behind the museum. No food or drink was available in the museum. We respectfully did not take photos inside, just took everything in visually. Many photos are available online. A few interactive displays too.

a fantastic and beautiful place to go, the art is amazing and the place very comfortable, if you are looking for a place to expand your knowledge about art, this is the place

Wow! The technology used is amazing. A great learning experience of the Baroque era for highschool students to seniors. Not just period paintings but a lot of insights to sculpture, religion, clothing, and much more. Many interactive displays and the initial light show is fully immersive and breathtaking. Be aware that it is difficult to walk from El Centro (90 minutes plus along really busy multiple lane hiways). Taxis can get you there but no taxis leave from there unless you make prior arrangements. Private tours appear to be available. We spent two hours there and didn't finish. We'll have to go back!

The most beautiful minimal museum, exhibitions are stunning, baroque and Mexican art are the principal protagonists. You will love walk around the museum and enjoy the gardens design and the color palette they have.

This is one of the best museums I've ever been to. They have excellent modern and interactive exhibits and well tailored collections. Their temporary exhibitions were delightful. I'll be back next time I return to Puebla.

Beautiful architecture. Cool exhibits, descriptions and narratives written in Spanish, English, and German. A couple of cool outdoor spaces to take a break. We did the whole place in 1 hour. About 15-20 minutes from zocalo by taxi. Only 80 pesos for entry.

Amazing, super comfortable and easy to understand ❤️

Went during a free day during semana Santa. arrived right when they opened which I highly recommend. They have a bag check that's free. This museum is incredible. Lots of interactive exhibits. Make sure you have plenty of time. It took me 3 hours to get through it but that wasn't even looking at everything.

Interesting building - the were two exhibitions when I was there: a permanent and a temporary (Da Vinci). The permanent has a lot of audio visual content - but also physical artefacts. Doesn't take too long to go through. If on foot, there is a nice park behind the museum and a path that extends along the river all the way to the ferris wheel (Estrella). Free entry on Sundays - like in many museums in Puebla.

Horrible place I got assaulted and verbally harassed by the coat check man and security because I wasn’t allowed to bring in my personal purse with my passport and wallet. I am a foreigner and I was treated like a criminal, after I asked for my purse I was forced to turn it in followed by security guards following me specifically and whispering to other guards as I passed by (exaggeration of guards, this type of security would be useful elsewhere) I felt humiliated and ostracized. My friend kept her bag due to having medication but had to have a sticker with needles and pills on her shirt as if showing off she is drug addict, very discriminatory. Plus there is mostly just videos and movies anyways, complete waste of time and I wanted to leave as quick as possible because of the amount of unwanted attention I got. If you want to see Baroque go to the actual churches in the city and support the local communities.

I had the worst experience ever at this museum. I got "ambushed" by 4 people because at first they said I was able to have my mochila with me and then I don't know if it was because of the accent (Born and raised in Colombia here) they instantly said I had to leave my bag behind... Then all security guards were kind of following me. Very uncomfortable and the worst part is that Josué Herrera, apparently the person in charged, is the person who started treating not so nice. Lack of customer service experience. The museum is okay, I was expecting more. The current exhibition is nice but after that one, you can go to Museo Amparo, it is free and they treat you well better!

A well designed museum which provides important context to appreciate the baroque influence in Puebla. Yet the museum falls flat on two critical points: 1. It is VERY difficult to get to without a car. It is 40 minutes away by public transportation, and none of the local bus drivers have any clue where the museum is. There is no signage or system telling visitors how to get back to the center. I guess Pueblo has given up on the efficient public transportation which makes so many other Mexican cities so enjoyable to visit. 2. The staff act like you are going to steal everything. They follow you everywhere, often walking right behind you and standing very close. You are not allowed to explore on your own, they insist you follow an exact route like cattle. There are also so many of them! Why?! Multiple staff per room and they're always talking on their walkie-talkie, ruining the atmosphere. The management seems clueless about how to run an "international" museum. Disappointing.

Unexpected gem of a museo. Had no idea it existed until we arrived. A must see! I ran out of battery life and had to use my wife's camera to capture the outside of the museum. Those photos are not uploaded here, but do yourself a favor and look online. The museum's exterior is worth the visit all by itself

This was a fascinating insight into the baroque period and the importance of it remaining today in Puebla, México. The museum is usually interactive, but for Covid safety currently not interactive, but still a fascinating walk through history, not just Mexican, but European too. A beautiful museum, well worth a visit, I would highly recommend.

The exhibition was beautifully designed and engaging; one of the former reviewers complained that the guards wouldn't let him touch things--as for today all interactive components don't have "no tocar" sign and you can use them.
