Museo de la Ciudad de México

TIME : 2016/2/18 10:04:29

Formerly a palace of the Counts of Santiago de Calimaya, this 18th-century baroque edifice now houses a museum with exhibits focusing on city history and culture. Upstairs is the former studio of Joaquín Clausell, considered Mexico’s foremost impressionist. The artist used the walls as a sketchbook during the three decades he worked here until his death in 1935.
