Mindscrapers: El Chopo


This building was designed by Gustave Eiffel -of the Eiffel Tower- and for many years served as the city's museum of natural history. (More proof of Mexico's obsession with all things French.) It re-opened last week after years of renovation as a cutting-edge contemporary art museum. We checked it out and agreed that the building felt like a cross between a Gothic cathedral and a train station.
