Tiny but elegant House-Museum displaying many elegant furnishings art etc. from the collection of the wealthy Sr. Tovar in his Roma Townhouse. Admission is FREE! Schedule about 20-45 minutes for viewing the tiny 1st floor rooms currently open to the public in this Roma Norte townhouse.
More than anything I’ve seen in the house I liked the house itself. The upper floor is closed for visits, but the garden is open. It transports you to a completely different era, quite magical!
This is a hidden gem of a house museum in Roma. It belongs to the Soumaya museum/Carlos Slim foundation, and displays the impressive collection of the late Guillermo Tovar. As in all other Soumaya museum locations, admission is free.
A charming little mansion that houses a museum. The house is like a jewel box, crammed with superb works of art from painting to applied art and furniture. The courtyard is a garden overgrown with bizarre plants.
This is a great museum to spend a couple of hours enjoying a full house of art. If you like museums, this is a great opportunity to learn about Guillermo Tovar and his vast art collection.
Lovely, free, elegant, and although it's a relatively small museum, it's a very satisfying experience. It has a screen display in each section that describes the pieces in each room. A great outdoor garden where you can take nice pictures, overall a worth it location for a quick museum experience.
Stunning interior and interesting back story! Check out the patio with lots of greenery
Probably my favourite little museum in Mexico City. A calm oasis of elegant rooms filled with old artefacts running around a lush private garden, providing sunlight and refreshing shade for the whole house. The rooms are stunning and well maintained with beautiful art pieces detailing the customs and history of the capital.
Wow what a beautiful mansion to tour with its furnishings and artwork intact. You’re transported back in time a century or more to witness the niceties of life for the Mexican aristocracy. The upstairs is inaccessible but there’s enough to gawk at it the small rooms downstairs to get an idea of the comfort and splendor enjoyed by the wealthy. Descend the stairs to the verdant garden where you’ll complete the tour of this gorgeous home. Staff are very courteous, from the armed security guards outside on the sidewalk to the room attendants inside. When I decided to take a second look through the rooms after completing the tour, the very kind woman at the front of the mansion reassured me, “You may go as many times as you wish.” She made me feel very welcome indeed! Thank you, kind madame!
Stunning museum! Doesn’t take long to walk through, the people who work here are passionate about the house and very kind people. Free to enter. No drinks allowed but you can set them on a table outside the doors and pick up on the way back out. Worth the visit to take you back in time in a gorgeous setting. We visited on a saturday around 1pm and there were only a few other people there. No wait.
The Casa Museo Guillermo Tovar de Teresa is an absolute gem. This museum offers a unique and intimate experience, showcasing an incredible collection of art, antiques, and cultural artifacts. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, providing a fascinating glimpse into Mexican history and heritage. The space itself is beautiful, with a welcoming atmosphere that allows you to fully immerse yourself in the experience. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate about the collection, adding to the overall charm of the visit. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or just looking to explore something different, this museum is definitely worth a visit. A true hidden treasure in Mexico City! And it’s for free!
Great weekend activity! The place is gorgeous and it’s free. You can take awesome pictures!
