A glistening rhomboid frozen in time mid-twirl; undulating motion in the midst of stillness, brought to life by light dancing off the mirrored-steel façade – Museo Soumaya is like a beacon in the heart of Plaza Carso, Mexico City. Wrapped around this structure is the mesmerising façade. What’s utterly fascinating are the sheer number of mirror-finish hexagons – over 16,000 – that appear to float, millimetres apart from each other, on the surface of the asymmetrical building.
Featured on STIRworld.com, the project is part of the STIR-exclusive series titled Private Museums of the World. Curated by STIR’s Content Consultant and Adviser Pramiti Madhavji, it takes you behind the scenes of privately-owned museums, sharing their origin with chats with art collectors, museum directors, curators and architects, who seamlessly come together to create the most unusual and amazing structures to host art collections.
