- El lugar muy bien organizado, las instalaciones excelentes y los materiales de la exposición perfectos
- Esta es una gran experiencia que cualquier persona debería probar una vez en su vida. Considera tener paciencia para ir conociendo cada una de las historias, ya que los contextos son los que generan el mayor impacto en los trabajos. Igualmente, es un gran agregado el recinto, Museo Franz Mayer, ya que siempre encontrarás una exposición extra que enriquecerá tu visita, en mi caso fue la de "Fútbol: Diseñando la pasión", y me llevo una gran sensación.
- Felicidades a todos
- Ojalá tuvieran souvenirs de la exposición o con nombre del museo 😊 Gracias y felicidades a todo su personal son muy amables todos ❤️📷
- Excelente atención
- Excelente exposición fotográfica.
- Increíble experiencia, súper recomendable
- Hicimos la visita guiada, fue excelente la experiencia, la guia es profesional, amena, interactuamos y la exposición nos hace reflexionar mas allá de solo ser expectadores.
