El Chopo museum is a museum of contemporary art and is a part of the Nantional Autonomous University of Mexico, UNAM. It was originally designed as a pavilion for an art and textile exhibition in 1902 in Dusseldorf, Germany. After the exhibition was over it was purchased by a Mexican, disassembled and brought to Mexico and reassembled. In 1975 it was purchased by UNAM and is used as a centre for contemporary art, music, film, dance and lectures. There was a nice exhibition on the hippie movement in Mexico complete with tabloid reports of drugs, sex and rock n' roll and Mexican covers of American rock at a Dick Clark type TV show with go-go dancers and the whole shtick.

Here are a couple from Chapultepec Park that I falsely announced in the last post.
