🧴👃 Mexico City’s Must-See Exhibit: When Surrealism Meets Scent

I was blown away by the Museo de Arte Moderno (MAM) in Mexico City—a surrealist paradise! 🤯 If you love Frida Kahlo, Remedios Varo, or trippy art, this show is for you. But it’s not just the big names—young Mexican artists stole the spotlight too! 🌟 The coolest twist? They teamed up with Museo del Perfume (the Perfume Museum 👃🧴). Next to some paintings, they placed these scent orbs (like Fig 4️⃣) asking: “What does art smell like?” 🧐 I sniffed—and mind. blown. The fragrances matched the art’s vibe perfectly! 🤯👌 Fun Fact: Most folks (including me!) think surrealism = Europe. But Mexico’s surrealist scene boomed in the 1930s! 🌍🇪🇺 When war hit Europe, artists fled—some to NYC, others to… Mexico! 🌵 Surrealism founder André Breton even crashed at Frida & Diego’s Blue House (Casa Azul 💙). Mexican surrealists blended European styles with Iztaccíhuatl volcanoes 🌋, Aztec myths, and jungle magic. The result? Art that feels like ancient prophecies—mystical, eerie, and wildly original. 🧙♂️🔮 📸 Why Visit? See how Frida’s legacy lives on in young artists. Smell art! (Seriously—it’s weirdly awesome).
