It was free to enter, and although the modern art was impressive, we went here as we thought we could see a Frida Kahlo piece. Sadly it was not being exhibited at the time. You had to wear masks...

I would suggest starting with mapping out the park behind it. That way on your visit you can look around there too. On Wednesday they set up booths. The exhibits were very nicely curated. Diego had quite a few pieces I never seen or knew about. It was very nice to see. Would highly recommend if you’re into the arts.

I went on a Friday and the entrance was free so I am not sure about buying tickets in advance or how that works so that was an upside; the museum was had great pieces too look at and admire. The staff was very helpful as well incase you get lost or need to find a WC they would point you into the right direction. I recommend seeing the museum if you have time and are into art. These are some pieces I found interesting and liked.
