MODO Museo del Objeto del Objeto on Postcard

"Unusual Artifacts in Mexico City Housed in an art nouveau mansion, MODO—Museum of the Objective of the Object—is an odd keyhole into everyday pre-21st-century life. You’re up close with items ranging from washing machines that were used in the 1800s to funky skateboards from the 1970s. By Afar Magazine"

The Best Museums in Mexico City

"Exhibitions at this quiet, boutique museum—set in a small former home in the bohemian neighborhood of Roma Norte—are spread across three floors. The museum doesn't have a permanent collection, but rather, exceptionally curated exhibits that rotate every three to four months. Themes range dramatically, covering such topics as "the drinks of Mexico" and "Mexican football," but always offer an interactive look at a particular subject. By examining everyday items (often related to design and communication) in an abstract way, the museum's curators hope to spark a larger conversation about society." - Susannah Rigg

It was a political exhibit at the time on the propaganda and political history of mexico. Very interesting but if you don't speak any Spanish don't bother.. not a ton of translations. Check ahead of time or call to see what the exhibit is at the time would be my recommendation.

The museum is well maintained, the staff members are nice, but unfortunately the museum is very small. Its not expensive, but its a museum that you can finish in 1 or 2 hour at most.4/5 Having said that, this museum also gives you access to another museum in Colima Street that is much better sponsored by INE (Mexico’s government voting institute) which was amazing. Its bigger and has better content 5/5

I came to the Museum of the Object of the Object (MODO) to attend the Broken Relationships exhibit. I wasn’t sure what to expect prior to entering, and was even a bit skeptical, but I ended up really enjoying the exhibit. The stories were touching, and even felt almost like “found poems.” It was a bit melancholic, but enjoyably interactive, and I really liked the rooms where attendees could write with chalk on the walls and also sign the guestbook. For the small price of 60 pesos, this exhibit is certainly worth attending.

Vert cool place. I experienced an exposition on theme of health. Most of the text was in Spanish but the grand theme had a translation in English. There was also an activity where every visitor could participate.

Thee time i visited it i saw an exposition about Mexico and its relation with colours, it has a lot of old objects, photos, paintings, escultures and media related. It was very interesting and the staff was very nice. It has spaces where the people can interact with the exposition. Very quiet and nice place.

I had a chance to visit the amazingly intimate and interesting exhibition dedicates to broken hearts and failed relationships. The personal stories of those individuals who donated their items were touchy and made me reflect on my past relationships.

I went in December 2022 when this was home to the Museum of Broken Relationships — a very moving exhibition about relationships of all kinds that came to an end during the pandemic. Very impressed by the use of space; strategic use of curtains created an almost clinical sense of privacy. I would definitely visit again.

Small space but interesting curated exhibition about concert posters. You can also listen to music. I wasn’t a fan but if you love concerts then you’ll enjoy it. There is an entrance free of 50 pesos which is okay.

Small & simple museum. Recommend if you're within the area, but not a must do in cdmx.
