Has Cuernavaca an amazing new museum contemporary

The cultural space has a sculptural garden with 15 pieces

The Morelos Museum of Contemporary Art Juan Soriano (Museo Morelense de Arte Contemporáneo Juan Soriano) opened to the public June 8, 2018.

The spacious exhibit salon

Juan Soriano (1920-2006) was one of Mexico’s foremost 20th century artists, recognized with exhibitions in numerous countries. His talent was expressed in oil paintings, sculptures, drawings, etchings, textiles, and graphic works, with varying styles over his career. The permanent collection houses more than 1200 of his works. Most stunning is the Sculpture Garden, a delight full green space of over 4000 square meters in which are nestled 15 monumental sculptures. The library contains his correspondence and other written records of his life. There are programs for children, workshops, and special events, details at the end of this post.

I had no idea there was such a beautiful park hidden in the center of Cuernavaca, the gardens of a few former residents of Colonia Amatitlán. An enormous Ahuehuete tree appears to be 200 years old. Reflecting pools with water lilies and fish have been added, making the garden a paradise for artistic reflection and appreciation. Residents are sure to want to take all their visitors to enjoy this cultural and sylvan oasis.

The Museum interior is spacious and well lit with very high ceilings. The curator, Mauricio Maillé, has done magnificent work in mounting the collection.

The entire large salon holds this work of hanging rocks tied to threads.

The special exhibit space in the basement holds a temporary exposition of works by Gustavo Pérez Monzón, a Cuban artist who resides in Cuernavaca. You have to descend a ramp to the lower floor, then take an elevator or walk a long, steep stair case to get there.

We residents of Morelos are so fortunate to have this thrilling sculpture garden and exhibits pace featuring the eclectic works of Juan Soriano.

Enjoy.
