Laboratorio Arte Alameda

Fodor's Review:

The facade of this refurbished building from the 1950s has a colonial air, but inside is one of the most contemporary art museums in town. The name says it all: the aim of this museum is truly to be a laboratory, a place where artists let loose and engage in unbridled experimentation, collaboration, and learning. There is a space for contemporary, often experimental art, a display area for video and photographs, and room where artists whose works are not displayed in other museums and galleries can exhibit. These are not necessarily young artists, but those who have yet to become truly established. A cafeteria provides grub, and live music often livens up the place on Thursday and Friday nights.

  • Cost: Free
  • Open: Mon.-Wed. 10AM-10PM, Thurs.-Sat. 10AM-midnight, or whenever the crowd leaves
  • Metro: Hidalgo.
