The Museo de la Luz is exciting, interesting and very interactive. And between you and me, I think it’s the coolest museum I’ve ever been to. Seriously.
To be honest, at the very beginning I didn’t even think the museum sounded particularly cool or interesting and I only went in because I saw a few interesting photos online. But that it would be SO cool, that I – although I really never! Do that – would read through texts with interest and turn into a little child on the playground. I really didn’t expect that.

But peops, there’s a glass ball with an electricity ball inside. And a disc that you can put your hand on and then light interacts with your hand. And then there’s a kind of round disc on which different colours are projected and if you stand in front of the colours, you can make funny figures in staggered versions – in colour! Then there are mirrors of all kinds – I had sooo fat legs 😀 – , different light stuff to experiment with, a very thought-provoking hologram of our planet and how it bursts into fire – no kidding. And… so many other cool things. Apart from the glass ballnwith the electricity ball and the game with the different colours, my absolute highlight was the thermal imaging camera. Have you ever stood in front of one of these things and watched yourself? It’s great fun and now I finally know why my nose always turns red so quickly in winter or when I have a cold and why it reacts so sensitively to the sun. It literally was the only red-coloured thing in my face and everything else was yellow! 😀 I really enjoyed myself in front of that thing.

I to my own surprise spent my entire day in there and even came back again because I wasn’t finished. That’s how good the museum was. And that’s an absolute ‘first’ for me. I’ve never had it before and I haven’t had it since. I really had the time of my life in there. 😀

Go or not? Yes please please yes. The museum is really…. It’s just great! Of course the sights outside like Reforma, Zócalo, cathedral etc are more important in this sense, but oh my god this museum is really fun 😀 And I think kids would have a really good time in there too 😀
