Ofrenda a Nuestros Antepasados

Aztlán Parque Urbano
Av. de los Compositores s/n en la Segunda Sección del Bosque de Chapultepec

28 de Octubre al 28 de Febrero



Como es tradición desde 1994 el Museo Dolores Olmedo presenta la Ofrenda Monumental y el Altar de Muertos, en Aztlán Parque Urbano, ubicado en la Segunda Sección del Bosque de Chapultepec. Tradicionalmente, la exposición de Día de Muertos está dividida en dos: un altar con los elementos típicos: velas, copal o incienso, flores de cempasúchil, pan de muerto, frutas, alimentos, bebidas, dulces y calaveritas de azúcar; así como una exposición de calacas de cartonería, que año con año cambia su temática, presentando personajes muy representativos del museo, como la misma Dolores Olmedo siendo pintada por Diego Rivera para “Retrato de La Tehuana”.

“Ofrenda a Nuestros Antepasados” conmemora la historia de la Ciudad de México con motivo de su aniversario fundacional, a través de 27 escenas temáticas que narran momentos políticos-sociales, la permanencia y transformación del Valle de México, así como la idiosincrasia y sincretismo cultural de sus habitantes. En esta edición, el Altar de Muertos enaltece las raíces de nuestra mexicanidad y destaca el origen de nuestros cimientos como nación.

La exposición es organizada por el Museo Dolores Olmedo en colaboración con Aztlán Parque Urbano.

HSBC es el patrocinador principal.

Xochimilco can be pretty far away if you're used to hanging out near the center of the city but there are several gems you can't miss. Among them is this former mansiion turned museum from fellow friend of Diego and Frida. There is also another home that belonged to Diego himself and a car museum.

It’s one of my favorite museum in México. Dolores Olmedo was and still is an admirable woman who left a great legacy to mexican art. #EnElOlmedo

I was there around día de los muertos and they had a few rooms prepared. The Mexicans loved it. On Tuesdays the entrance is for free. The Diego Rivera collection is awesome. From Frida Kahlo it is mainly photos and only one painting that she did several times in different ways . But the villa is marvellous.

The museum is incredible. It is situated in a beautiful park inhabited by peacocks and other animals. The house is wonderful. Really well kept. They have a huge collection of Diego Rivera. Unfortunately i also went to see the Frida Khalo paintings but they had none on exhibit. If you want to see all the collection make sure to give a call to the museum asking questions as it is situated a little far from the centre of the city.

The property is very beautiful and spacious with lots of peacocks. For any one that is a lover of Frida or Diego artwork, this is a must. A great stop on your way to or from Xochomilco.

A beautiful place, a real treasure. Grounds are very relaxing. Cafe is also good. Highly recommended & you can also deepen your understanding of Mexican art and the people who made & shaped it.

This is one of my favorites museums to visit in south Mexico city, it has the biggest art collection in the world of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera's work in the world including Frida Self Portraits!! Theres is a whole room dedicated to sunrise and sunse paintings by Diefo Rivera.Dolores Olmedo was sponsor and close friend of the couple. Among the permanent exhibition there are also Mexican classic furniture and pottery ( talavera), the colonial style building is quite a place to admire. An unexpected and amazing surprise you might find, the many free peacocks that wander the gardens and jump around from ground to ceilings. There are also live xolo dogs in closed gardens. There are galleries for temporary exhibitions, the Dia de muertos offering art is very famous in November. The museum shop is very big and has a great variety of items including many Frida Kahlo themed stuff. Bathrooms are clean and spacious. It is close to Xochimilco canals, you could plan a visit with both locations in one day. Did not visit the restaurant, but was crowded and smelled delicious like mole sauce.

Beautiful! The garden is splendid with peacocks everywhere. The art collection is good but depends on your taste in the matter. There's even a little coffee shop closed to the house. Not that cheap for foreigners and being able to take photos inside cost an extra. But overall a good value.
