En celebración de su quinto aniversario, el Museo Jumex presenta una serie de exposiciones que exploran la manera en la que el ojo humano percibe su entorno, la relación con la televisión y los problemas de la actualidad; todo aterrizado en una secuencia de expresiones artísticas.
Ending the year with a flourish and starting the next one on the right track, the cultural space proves the reason behind its growing positioning within the artistic world once again, and this time, it features four collections worth talking about.
