Museo Estanquillo occupies a historic building in the centre of Mexico City and holds the collection assembled by the writer Carlos Monsiváis, a mix of popular art, photography, cartoons and ephemera that captures the visual culture of the city. Visitors come for the temporary exhibitions and for the way the displays tie everyday Mexican imagery to the country's political and social history. The museum sits in the dense historic heart of the city, so a visit is easily combined with the surrounding streets, plazas and churches. The site's own guidance is worth remembering: the altitude of 2,240 metres is real, so drink water and keep day one light. From June to September rain usually arrives in a two-hour burst in the afternoon, while mornings are generally fine. At night, order taxis through an app rather than hailing them, and build traffic into every plan, since movement through the centre is slow.
