(2019) It was soooooo good. The art was beautiful and the tour guide was very good and informative. I believe his name was Sebastián.

Beautiful building. It doesn't look like it's open from the outside. Not much fanfare and a small sign. Inside is amazing murals and an exhibit on the bottom floor and on the top floor. There was a library too with amazing tapestries on the wall.

A must see of DC! The tour is fantastic-- they explain the 4-stories of murals depicting Mexican history. Plus, the building is old and holds stunning architecture. You'll also find rotating art exhibits.

Such a beautiful establishment. The wall artwork are mesmerizing. I wish there was parking nearby; you need to allow enough parking time if you’re planning on coming there.

I visited the Institute to attend #mezcalprom with the Mezcalistas and a great friend. Beautiful embassy, wonderful spirits, and delicious bites to accompany. Event was well run, well-staffed, and overall a really great time. Highly recommend a visit to at least admire the beautiful interior!

Great cultural heritage we were given a warm welcome the food was delicious thanks to the Rotaract club of American University, the Rotary club of Federal City and the Rotary club of Historical Prince Georgia for organizing the event.

The Mexican Cultural Institute is a historic mansion in Columbia Heights NW. Several top government officials lived in it before the Mexican government bought it in 1921 as their embassy. When the Mexican embassy moved to Pennsylvania Avenue in 1989, this building became a cultural center. The building itself is four floors with grand halls and rooms. There’s a salon, a blue tiled hall, and a grand hall. As you wind up the stairs, you’ll notice beautiful murals along the way. The cultural center hosts events, music, films, lecture and art exhibits. It’s free and open until 6pm. It’s worth a visit!
