Visiting this museum has been by far one of the best experiences in my visits to Mexico City downtown. The place is not just free but conveniently located 2 blocks from the main plaza (called Zocalo) and unlike other museums, this museum opens on Mondays. By the time I went there there was an exhibition called "bibliofilia mexicana" which enlightened me about Mexican intellectual production through history. It got me by surprise that there were serious intellectuals in Mexico in the past, with really complete and good productions, a fact that is not much highlighted about Mexico...I would also recommend to visit the terrace of the museum, where you can enjoy a great view of the surroundings. There is a coffee place on the terrace and also a...

Amazing museum with rich musical history. This museum is definitely the place to visit if you are interested in Carlos Monsiváis' personal musical collection. Musical pieces are detailed with great information and the place is really wide which allows great mobility and for many visitors to be in the same place without feeling claustrophobic. They have a rec area were you can enjoy planned activities and have fun. They also have a library with a great variety of musical books and other interests that are mentioned in the museum's expo. And lastly, at the very top they have a terrace were you can sit and have a bite. They offer coffee and other snacks to enjoy. It has a great view of...

Un magnífico lugar para visita dominical,en la prolongación Avenida Juárez , centro historico de la ciudad de México . Son cuatro pisos ,la parte superior es una terraza una magnífica terraza donde se aprecian edificios muy bellos puede descansar e hidratarse . El tercero y segundo piso tiene la exhibicion de colecciones diversas de Carlos Monsivais ,contiene fotografías de amigos tomadas por otros amigos p cuadros y fotos del doctor Atl y de publicaciones impresas de libros de grabados de algunas de sus obras volcanicas. Es un excelente lugar , no tiene caso citar de memoria(adjunto unas fotografias)ya que ni la memoria ni el conocimiento me permite repetir lo que vi ahí . Vayan,desayunen en el Sanborns de la "casa de los azulejos" y de ahi al Museo del Estanquillo" pero hay que dedicarle tres horas minimo. Afortunadamente las dos salones de exposición tienen lugar para sentarse ,a mi edad se necesita estar sentado con mucha frecuencia . Hay baños podemos decir que en buenas condiciones , aunque se pueden ajustar uno,en la parte de la terraza.. el lavamanos estaba estaba suelto con riesgo de caerse ,pero esas son minucias, en realidad me pareció magnífico un excelente lugar para entretenerse y cultivarse un poco en el centro de la ciudad . Yo le pondría las cinco estrellas y recomiendo su visita ,ojo,problema importante para la tercera edad hay solamente un elevador que llega hasta el cuarto piso es muy tardado,pues luego es retenido en los pisos intermedios. Yo abuse de las escaleras por la poca eficiencia del elevador y tuve un agotamiento que me duro varios dias y ademas no me hidrate lo suficiente. Tercera edad , llévense un banquito plegable para que mientras espera que llegue al elevador, y si...
