The Franz Mayer Museum Will Host a BioFunky Night with an Exhibition, Guided Tours, Dancing, and a 2-for-1 Promo in CDMX for Night of Museums
As part of the classic Noche de Museos (Night of Museums)—the cultural program that takes place on the last Wednesday of every month across various venues in Mexico City—the Franz Mayer Museum has prepared an edition called BioFunky. It is a rather unexpected mix of biodesign, psychedelia, music, and dancing inside one of the most beautiful museums in the Historic Center. It sounds like it’s going to be very cool!
There will be guided tours, artistic activities, and even a “mushroom-dance” (bail-hongo). All in the same evening.
What Will Be at the BioFunky Night of Museums at the Franz Mayer Museum?
The night revolves around the opening of BioDiseño MX: Territorios vivos (Biodesign MX: Living Territories), an exhibition that explores projects where design, nature, and living materials blend to imagine alternative ways of creating and inhabiting spaces.
But the Franz Mayer fully understands that culture can also be fun, so the exhibition is accompanied by:
- Special guided tours
- Bio-activities and workshops
- The famous Franz “mushroom-dance”
- Access to the permanent exhibitions
- Surprises throughout the entire night
Honestly, few things sound more CDMX than wrapping up a Wednesday dancing to funky music inside a historic museum.
The best part: it actually pays to dress weird. For this edition, the museum is rewarding dedication to the vibe. If you show up in a funky, retro, or psychedelic outfit, you can get a 2-for-1 admission promotion. So yes, this time, dressing up like a lost character from the seventies literally comes with financial benefits.
Night of Museums: The Coolest Plan for Any Chilango
The Night of Museums has spent years transforming cultural spaces into something much more alive. The concept is simple: open museums during evening hours and pair them with special activities to attract new audiences.
The Franz Mayer has become a crowd favorite because it cracked a vital code: going to a museum doesn’t have to feel solemn. It can feel weird, fun, and even chaotic in the best way possible.
How to Get to the Franz Mayer Museum in CDMX?
The Franz Mayer Museum is located right in front of the Alameda Central, on Avenida Hidalgo. The easiest way to get there is by getting off at the Hidalgo Metro station (Lines 2 and 3) or the Hidalgo Metrobús station, both of which are literally just a few steps from the venue.
If you are driving, keep in mind that traffic in the Historic Center usually gets heavy during the late afternoon and evening, and finding parking can take some time. The most practical option is usually to arrive via public transportation or a ridesharing app.
