Top 5 Mexican Museums on Instagram

Here is a list of the most popular Mexica museums on Instagram. Writer Thomas Merton once said, ” Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” What a better time to experience the treasures of the art world than autumn, with its warm colors and magical mood. Some of these treasures are just a few steps away from us, kept in gorgeous museums we are so used to seeing that we don’t even consider them. Others are ideal excuses for a weekend trip.

Simply taking a photograph allows us to save these priceless artworks in our memories and carry them with us at all times. Particularly at the start of the day or after lunch, the less busy hours allow us to take the perfect image…. and show it to our friends on Instagram, with plenty of hashtags, of course!  We hope it inspires all dreamers who love art and travel to immortalize the world’s most priceless treasures.
