Overview

The Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo houses the collection of the Mexican painter Rufino Tamayo (1899-1991), which focuses on late-modernist sculpture and painting, primarily from Europe, the Americas and the United States. The Museum program presents temporary exhibitions of works covering the period of the 1950’s to the present, as well as revisions of the collection and of the work of Rufino Tamayo. Other programmatic interests include Panoramica, a forum for the presentation of experimental videos and video series; the Cyberlounge presenting net-based projects; Intersticios which involves the production of annual site-specific projects that engage the architecture of the museum and its surrounding landscape; as well as a number of dynamic education programs for adults and students and an active series of lectures and thematic symposia on Contemporary Art throughout the year.
