The place is beautiful, everything that is over there is just a piece of art. Mondays is closed just like every other museum and Sundays you can get in for free.

Bellas Artes is a magnificent structure, and it has been well maintained. It's free to enter and walk around. It only takes a few minutes to step inside and see the interior, but you will see much of the beautiful marble that makes this place so beautiful. Performances of the ballet folklorico are on Wednesdays and Sundays, and there are... More

We didnt get to see the glass curtain. The third floor was closed to visitors. But besides that the murals were just fantastic. The building itself is beautiful from inside and outside.

This place is filled with huge murals, including some of Diego Rivera and Siquieros. They have opera and other performances here as well. Make sure you do not whip out your camera in front of any murals or art pieces, security will get very upset!

A Mexican friend gave us a half day tour of the city and this was our first port of call. My wife is not normally into visiting museums, but she was very pleasantly surprised by what she saw. The murals on the second floor are particularly impressive, and each has a comprehensive description of the piece along with the artist... More

A bit disappointing overall.. the building is ok but not as awe inspiring as the nearby post office and with a less inspiring art collection than the national art museum (also close by). The murals on the 2nd or was it 3rd floor are worth a look at and why I have graded this as very good- without them a... More

Please take time to go inside and enjoy not only the architectural beauty of the outside part of the structure but the inside as well. Every hour they have guided tours that cost less that $3 and a knowledgeable employee shows you around and gives you details and tours you around their famous murals that are in the building. One...

On the souvenir shop you can buy nice and not expensive ones. Book a ticket early so you would be able to see a show .
