MMAC Juan Soriano
About This Museum
The MMAC Juan Soriano feels like a vibrant sanctuary, a place where the spirit of one of Mexico's great modern artists has been given a home. It’s not a stuffy, silent hall but a living space that hums with creative energy. You'll find yourself moving from intimate galleries showcasing Soriano's evocative 'La Paloma' sculpture to rooms bursting with bold contemporary works by emerging talents. The entire experience is less about a chronological march and more about a delightful, sensory conversation with Mexican art.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the museum is, of course, the permanent collection of Juan Soriano's work, where his monumental bronze 'La Paloma' (The Dove) is an undeniable centerpiece. Beyond that, expect to be surprised by rotating exhibits that might feature anything from provocative video installations to sprawling textile art, ensuring there's always something new to discover.
Visitor Information
Tucked away in Cuernavaca, it's the perfect cultural escape from the city's heat. It’s wise to check their social media for current hours and any special events, as they often host fantastic workshops and live performances that really bring the place to life.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a beautifully adapted colonial-era building, the architecture masterfully blends old stone walls and archways with clean, modern interventions. Soaring ceilings and cleverly placed courtyards flood the spaces with that gorgeous Morelos light, making the building itself a key part of the artistic experience.
