We had a rather bizarre experience here. We went on a Saturday to visit el Bazar Sábado. The entry to part of the outdoors bazar was blocked by a few people in uniform. They told us the bazar's entry was the same as the entry of this museum. We went to the museum. The doorman told us to gain entry to the market, we needed to get a museum ticket but at no charge. We went to the museum office for the ticket. The saleswoman said there was a voluntary donation to the museum. The donations jar was full of 50mxn and above.

El Museo Casa del Risco, situado en el pintoresco barrio de San Ángel en la Ciudad de México, es una joya arquitectónica del siglo XVIII que alberga una rica colección de arte y objetos históricos. Originalmente una residencia privada, la casa ha tenido diversos usos a lo largo de los años, incluyendo funciones como convento, hospital y cuartel durante la intervención estadounidense en México. En 1933, el diplomático y político mexicano Isidro Fabela adquirió la propiedad y, junto con su esposa Josefina Eisenmann, la restauró y la convirtió en un espacio para resguardar su vasta colección de arte. En 1958, la pareja donó la casa y su acervo al pueblo de México, estableciendo así el primer museo donado por un particular en el país.
El museo cuenta con siete salas de exhibición permanente que incluyen arte barroco mexicano, arte religioso europeo, retratos de monarcas y nobles, así como habitaciones que han sido preservadas tal como las habitaban los Fabela, como el comedor, la recámara y el estudio. Uno de los elementos más emblemáticos del museo es la Fuente del Risco, una obra monumental de estilo ultrabarroco elaborada con fragmentos de porcelana, conchas y azulejos, que se encuentra en el patio central de la casa.
