Guillermo Tovar de Teresa Museum — Attraction in Mexico City

Everyone here is amazingly friendly especially the people greeting you. The house is fabulous. It is a small mansion but it is packed with amazing art. I would get on Wikipedia and look up the guy's name who was the collector. He has an interesting story. He had an amazing eclectic taste in art.

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,...
