Museo Internacional Barroco

The Baroque was one of the most prolific periods in Western history. During the 17th and 18th centuries it permeated political and economic systems and transformed the conception of nature through innovations in thinking, creating, viewing, and lifestyle.

The Baroque is also an aesthetic understanding of contemporary existence. It’s a sensibility that allowed for a revolution in thought and creativity, which is revealed again in the eyes of philosophers, artists, and intellectuals through their various modes of expression: visual arts, fashion, literature, advertising, mass communication, economy, tourism, and science among others.

The enormous cultural patrimony of Puebla and Mexico serve as the focus to describe this key period in world history and the principles of the Baroque aesthetic, as well as its impact on all spheres of European and Latin American society in the 17th and 18th centuries.

The content of the Museo Internacional del Barroco is the result of planning the best way to approach the subject and to transmit its messages to visitors through the very languages of the Baroque to convey direction, coherence, and identity to the elements of the exhibition design, the didactic content, and state-of-the-art audiovisuals.
