Mexico 2019 - Museium of Contemporary Art - UNAM #1

Another museum that's a regular for me in CDMX is the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo on the campus of UNAM, National Autonomous University of Mexico.  This museum displays very contemporary works, as the name would suggest. The building is an interesting piece of art to start with, designed by Mexican architect, Teodoro González de León who designed several other big profile buildings around DF.  

The first exhibit I saw there was Salón Independiente.   

The Independent Salon  "gave rise to the possibility of group organizations that could develop joint and experimental projects, in addition to strengthening attitudes that challenged the established order." 

The other exhibit featured the creations of Zaha Hadid, British-Iraqi architect, and her architectural firm.  Hugely extravagant stuff that seemed somewhat fictional or whimsical just viewing the models but was quite startling to see photos of the models made real.  

They really build these things somewhere, like Dubai in this case. 

Or Riyadh here

There's more to come of this museum but that's enough for now
