Mexico City is the cool cousin of
art cities—unique, edgy, independent, and full of surprises. This
week Zona Maco, Mexico’s premiere contemporary
art fair, draws tens of thousands of visitors and over 150
galleries back to the city for its 17th
edition. And while it
would be entirely possible to spend days exploring every booth
tucked into the Centro Citibanamex, once fair exhaustion sets in,
you can reboot with some of the city’s other cultural
highlights.

If you’re up for it, here’s
our guide to the best of
museum and gallery shows on view now, plus one worthwhile satellite
fair.
