Museo Jumex

Museo Jumex opened in 2013 in Mexico City's Nuevo Polanco district to house the Colección Jumex, one of Latin America's most important private collections of contemporary art, assembled by Eugenio López Alonso. The travertine-clad building by David Chipperfield Architects, with its distinctive saw-tooth roof, provides three floors of galleries for the collection and an ambitious program of international exhibitions, retrospectives, and collaborations, alongside research, publications, and an educational program engaging audiences across Mexico City.

Colección Jumex is a private art collection owned by Eugenio López Alonso. The collection is housed at Museo Jumex, the main outpost of Fundación Jumex Arte Contemporáneo, located in the Polanco neighborhood in Mexico City. The museum opened in November 2013 in a building designed by David Chipperfield. The main purpose of the museum is to promote the production, discussion and knowledge about contemporary art in Mexico. The museum produces exhibitions and also showcases works that are part of the collection. The foundation has a scholarship program for supporting Mexican students who want to study graduate programs related to the field of contemporary arts. It also offers grants for artists and organizations that are dedicated to the production, research and promotion of contemporary art, both within Mexico and internationally. Source: Wikipedia
