Museo Franz Mayer Mexico City

North of the Alameda, you’ll find this museum, which has been called an oasis of calm and beauty by many visitors, serves as testament to a lifetime of collecting on the part of Franz Mayer. Franz Mayer, born in 1824 in Germany in the city of Mannheim, would later move to Mexico and earn the nickname Don Pancho. The museum displays his vast collection, including a wide variety of Mexican hand crafted silver artifacts, textiles, handmade ceramics and what are called stunning masterpieces of furniture.
