Featured Events in Mexico City in May 2025 (June Updated)

The Impressionist Revolution: From Monet to Matisse of the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) explores the fascinating history of Impressionism, from its birth in 1874 to the legacy it achieved in the early years of the 20th century. Counted entirely through the exceptional collections of the DMA, this exhibition reveals the rebellious origins of the collective of independent artists known as the Impressionists - and the revolution they created in modern art. Breaking with tradition both in the techniques used and in the subjects they painted, as well as in the ways in which their works exhibited, the Impressionists redefined what was considered to be avant-garde contemporary art. The movement's unique innovations of central figures, such as Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and Berthe Morisot, laid the groundwork for those answered by avant-garde artists of later generations, from Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh to Piet Mondrian and Henri Matisse.

The Museum of the Palace of Fine Arts (MPBA) pays tribute to the legacy of Jalisco-born painter Jorge González Camarena with an exhibition commemorating the 45th anniversary of his death. This exhibition not only evokes his prolific career but also allows us to reflect on the transformation of Mexican muralism. After the boom of the 1920s and 1930s, this movement gave way to a new generation of artists in the 1940s and 1950s. During this period, Camarena's contemporary muralists reinterpreted the movement's traditions, seeking to renew the iconography and ideals of the Mexican Revolution in their monumental works. This exhibition offers an in-depth look at the mural Liberación (1963), the last mural commissioned by the INBA specifically for the Palace of Fine Arts, a work in which González Camarena synthesized the new visual languages ​​that contributed to perpetuating the post-revolutionary cultural utopia.

Artist Gabriel Orozco’s latest solo exhibition, “Politécnico Nacional,” is currently on view at the Jumex Museum in Mexico City.

Through the artist’s close collaboration with curator Briony Fer, the exhibition incorporates the various techniques and concepts that the artist has developed since the 1990s, including rotation, symmetry, and the representation of time, thus bringing new perspectives to his creative practice.

For thousands of years, humanity has shaped clay to create pottery, one of the earliest technological manifestations used by our ancestors in their daily lives and rituals. Many of these objects, in addition to their functionality, stand out for their beauty and for being the result of the work of specialized potters. The Ceramics: Voices of Ancient Clay exhibition brings together a select collection of ceramic objects from the cultural zone of Western Mexico, with the aim of exploring the link between the past and the present through ceramics. This exhibition highlights the importance of clay as a key source of information for understanding ancient societies, from its discovery in excavations to its restoration and museum display.

The Amazon has always sparked the imagination. As the source of numerous metaphors, its image often deviates from the reality of this vast territory, the largest tropical rainforest in the world. Amazônia documents daily life in this region, which spans nine South American countries and is home to 188 indigenous groups, 114 of whom have had no contact with the outside world. This territory is threatened by pollution, mining, mass agriculture, and other industries. Conceived by photographer Sebastião Salgado, through 230 black and white photographs, it establishes a dialogue between nature and humanity, reflecting the majesty of the forest, rivers, and mountains. Curated by Lélia Wanick Salgado, it offers a sensorial immersion, with large-format images, spaces evoking indigenous huts, and a musical work by Jean-Michel Jarre based on the sounds of the tropical rainforest.
