MIBarroco

The International Museum of the Baroque in Puebla, Mexico, is a cultural institution designed by Japanese architect Toyo Ito. It is dedicated to preserving, researching, and presenting the many facets of the Baroque in the arts, culture, society, science, and technology. The original concept included a showcase of the complexity of Baroque expression in architecture, painting, sculpture, and literature, as well as a program of rotating exhibitions. After initial controversy over the provenance of the exhibits and the transparency of the costs, the museum reopened in October 2019 with a new exhibition by Mexican artist Mauro Terán titled "New Rites: Saints, Mourning, and Deities."
