Art and Culture in Mexico City

"The main campus of UNAM, the National University of Mexico and the country’s most prestigious, became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007 for being “a unique example of 20th-century modernism integrating urbanism, architecture, engineering, landscape design, and fine arts with references to local traditions, especially to Mexico’s pre-Hispanic past.” The coolest building on campus is Biblioteca Central (the main library), covered in small, colorful volcanic tiles — be sure not to miss it. You can easily spend a whole day hanging around the campus and never run out of things to do; both the University Museum of Contemporary Art (MUAC) and the Sciences and Arts University Museum (MUCA) are excellent for those wanting to learn more about Mexican art." - MATADOR_NETWORK
