"Museo Franz Mayer occupies a former colonial convent and is home to its namesake patron’s vast decorative-arts collection, focused on Mexico’s viceregal and early-republican epochs. Rarely crowded, the museum’s an oasis and temple for those who swoon over blue-tile or majolica ceramics; stately, extremely heavy furnishings; or other captivating gewgaws, such as ornate silver, tapestries, painted screens, and fans, in addition to oil portraits of nabobs from every historical period. In recent years, the museum has also cultivated an edgier calendar of temporary exhibitions, juxtaposing the permanent collection against present-day design themes and topical concerns."
