Museo Franz Mayer is a museum in Mexico City, and it is the reason many travellers choose a hotel in the Cuauhtemoc area rather than anywhere else in the capital. The collection spans decorative arts, with ceramics, silverwork, textiles, furniture and fine art gathered over decades, and it sits in a historic building that is worth the visit on its own. People come for temporary exhibitions as much as for the permanent rooms, so the calendar changes several times a year and a return visit is rarely the same as the last. It is compact enough to take in over a morning, and central enough that you can pair it with the rest of the historic centre on foot. Because the altitude of 2,240 metres is real, keep day one light, drink water, and let the museum be your gentle introduction to the city.
