Lonely Planet review for Museo Universitario del Chopo

Santa María’s most impressive structure, with its two prominent spires, is the Museo Universitario del Chopo, four blocks south of the Alameda. Forged of iron in Dusseldorf around the turn of the 20th century, the building was brought over in pieces and assembled in Mexico City to serve as a pavilion for trade fairs. UNAM took over the historic building in 1975 and made it into a center for on-the-fringe artistic currents. At the time of research, the museum was closed for renovations.
