20 Best Museums in Mexico City | Condé Nast Traveler

"The former home of Emilio "El Indio" Fernandez offers a unique window into the world of this award-winning Mexican filmmaker. Few international tourists seek out the museum, but a visit offers deeper insights into Fernandez's life and the Golden Age of Mexican cinema in the 1940s and 1950s. As you walk around, you'll see his possessions as he originally used them. And the house itself, made of volcanic stone, is a well-preserved example of Mexican architecture during that era." - Susannah Rigg

Visiting the Monumental House of Emilio “Indio” Fernández in Coyoacán was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was absolutely in awe of the breathtaking architecture — every stone, archway, and courtyard carries a sense of history and artistry that’s truly mesmerizing. The house has a beautiful rustic charm that instantly transports you to another era. The way natural light pours into the rooms, the intricate details in the walls and ceilings, and the lush gardens all work together to create a warm, majestic, and almost cinematic atmosphere. It’s no wonder this place has inspired so many stories and films. This isn’t just a visit — it’s a journey into the soul of Mexican art and culture. A true hidden gem in Mexico City that I would recommend to anyone who appreciates history, beauty, and timeless architecture.

Wow! The house is impressive! It was beautifully decorated for día de los muertos paying tribute to many artists of the golden age. The tour was very informative and well done! I'd definitely go back for any occasion!

Incredible home of the renowned Mexican director. Labyrinthine with several romantic sitting rooms. Would love to see it alive at night.

A neat place to visit if you've never been a bit of the tourist path. There's food and a mariachi band that plays in the afternoon.

Strange place. It is a beautiful house but it has no life in it and opening it to the public feels very much like a money grab. The entrance fee of 200 pesos doesn't include any guide, brochure or other information about the house or owner nor are there any signs throughout the house. Weirdly there was a horse tied up in the courtyard - no context - poor thing must be going crazy stuck there by itself not able to move more than a few metres. I don't know if there is an animal welfare organisation in CDMX but they should be called.
