A day at the museum

Today we went to the Dolores Olmedo Patiño Museum. Dolores was a really rich woman who lived in Xochimilco and she had this insanely big house that was converted into a museum. A part of the museum holds some of her belongings: craved ivory, chinese and japanese statues and all sort of insanely intricate and insanely expensive things.

Another part of it holded an exhibition on traditional Mexican artesany, it was awesome, there were some things that had such a detail and so vibrant colors! There was also a temporary exhibition brought from the "l'Orangerie" museum in Paris: Picasso, Monet, Guegain. I was glad they brought them because, even if I have been four times in Paris, I've never been to that museum.

The museum has also some really huge gardens and in a part of them they have these Mexican hairless dogs who were the cutest!

Additionally there was also an offering for "Día de Muertos", there was a big queue to get in but it was completely worth it. The theme for it was Paris in accordance to the temporary paintings exhibiton. So all the catrinas (the skeletons) were dressed up as Parisian characters or even as famous painters. It was really beautiful.
