International Museum of the Baroque
Museo Internacional del Barroco
A white building with sweeping curves, designed by Japanese architect Toyo Ito. Multimedia displays present Baroque art, music and architecture from Europe and the Americas.
The museum opened in 2016. The building itself is known for its white concrete curved walls, which resemble folded cloth, and its central water court. The galleries cover painting, sculpture, costume, music and interactive video, making them ideal for understanding Puebla's Baroque heritage. Admission is about 90 pesos. It is free on Tuesdays and closed on Mondays. Located near the Atlixco Cultural City complex in the new district, about 8 km from the old town, a 20-minute taxi ride away. It can be combined with a visit to the Estrella de Puebla observation wheel.
