The Museo Experimental El Eco is a contemporary art gallery in the centre of Mexico City, Mexico.[1] It was designed by sculptor Mathias Goeritz, a Mexican artist of German origin[2] who worked closely with the Mexican architect Luis Barragán.[3] Originally built in 1952-53, the gallery was extended by FR-EE/Fernando Romero Enterprise in 2007 "to expand its offices and special services to improve daily operations".[3]
History of the building
In 2004, the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México bought the building which re-opened its doors on 7 September 2005 after many months of restoration work to bring the building back to its original state.[4] The project was intended to revive Goeritz's architectural legacy.[5]
