The architecture festival will come to CDMX at the end of September! We already know the schedule of Mextrópoli 2025 and we advance you that it will install impressive sculptures in the Historic Center, such as the Alameda Central, Plaza Manuel Tolsá and other points of the city.
It’s time to rediscover our city. This festival invites you to explore its buildings and public spaces, letting experts in architecture, design and creativity guide you through every detail.
Mextrópoli will take place from September 18 to 21, with plenty of activities: walking and biking routes, specialized tours, public installations, workshops, book presentations and much more.
Every year there is a different theme and this year’s 2025 is “Collective Housing”. The goal is to explore and discuss the housing problem facing those of us who reside in Mexico City.
Mextrópoli will install sculptures in the Historic Center and cultural precincts of CDMX.
The Alameda Central, Plaza Manuel Tolsá, the Centro Cultural España and the Colegio de San Ildefonso are just some of the places where there will be sculptural installations and exhibitions.
Some of them will be in public spaces, so viewing them will be free of charge. Other pieces will be located in cultural venues, such as the Franz Mayer Museum or the Museum of Popular Art.
