The International Museum of the Baroque, or Museo Internacional del Barroco, is an art museum in Puebla, Mexico, designed by the Japanese architect Toyo Ito. It opened on February 4, 2016. The article names no client, style, materials or construction dates. Its mission is to conserve, research and share the many forms of Baroque sensibility.
The first plan aimed to show Baroque expression in architecture, painting, sculpture and literature, with temporary exhibitions. Academics objected to the origin of the pieces, the central theme and the lack of openness about costs.
It reopened on October 26, 2019, after a change of state administration, with the show New Rites: Saints, Mourning, and Deities by the Mexican artist Mauro Terán. The article gives no hours.
