圣伊尔德弗朗索古教育学院(相片)

对国际游客来说，圣伊尔德弗朗索古教育学院可能是墨西哥城最常被忽视的“大城市博物馆”之一。它在城市的文化生活中扮演着重要的角色。地理位置便利，展览丰富。馆内设计令人惊艳，有兴趣的旅客可以尽情探索当代、20世纪和历史艺术。

圣伊尔德弗朗索古教育学院是由墨西哥联邦文化部、墨西哥城政府和墨西哥国立自治大学（UNAM）共同合作的重要文化中心。它致力于：

通过展览使墨西哥公众熟悉墨西哥丰富多样的艺术遗产。
收藏来自国外博物馆及从未在墨西哥展出的藏品。
结合上述两者条件，提供民众学习体验。

过去25年里，许多最重要的国内和国际展览都在圣伊尔德弗朗索古教育学院举行过。

建筑特色

由三所耶稣会学院合并而成的，圣伊尔德弗朗索古教育学院诞生于1583年。现今的建筑在18世纪最后的40年里进行了重建。不幸的是，耶稣会士在卡洛斯三世国王的命令下被驱逐出了西班牙和新西班牙。随后，这座建筑曾用作兵营、新西班牙政府的学校、法学院，甚至是占领的美国军队（1847年）和法国军队（1862年）的总部。

作为墨西哥历史中心地区最重要的副王时代建筑之一，这座建筑有三层和两个不同的区域。其中一个明显属于巴洛克时期，包括三个庭院（大庭院、小庭院，和侧院）。另一个位于南部的部分在1907年至1931年之间添加，还有两个小庭院。

19世纪末，这座建筑逐渐改建成为国家预备学校的所在地（弗里达·卡罗曾在这里上高中）。教堂和圣堂被改建为图书馆和实验室空间。天文台一直存在到20世纪中期，早期的文献提到这里曾有一个植物园和一个小动物园。

这座建筑一直是值得一游的地方，您可以在这里查看最新的展览时间表。

Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso

For International Visitors, it's possibly one of the most frequently overlooked of Mexico City's "big city museums." The Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso plays a vital role in the cultural life of the city. It's conveniently located, and usually vibrating with precisely what many international visitors are looking for. Contemporary, 20th century, and historical art have never been shown off in a more flattering setting. A joint project of the Federal Ministry of Culture, the Mexico City Government), and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), is a major cultural center. It's dedicated to:

Exhibitions to familiarize the Mexican public with the richness and diversity of the Mexican artistic heritage
Collections from foreign museums never before presented in Mexico
Providing learning experiences to accompany all of the above

Many of the most important national and international exhibitions of the past 25 years have been presented at the Antigua Colegio de San Ildefonso.

The Building

The result of a merger of three Jesuit institutions, the Colegio de San Ildefonso came about in 1583. The present building was rebuilt during the final 40 years of the 18th century. Unfortunately for the Jesuits, they were expelled from all of Spain and New Spain by King Carlos III. The building then served as a barracks, as a school for the government of new Spain, as a law school, and even as headquarters for the occupying American (1847) and French (1862) troops. One of the most important examples of viceregal architecture in the Centro Histórico, the complex has three levels and two distinct areas. One is decidely of the Baroque period and contains three courtyards (Chico, de Pasantes, and Grande). A more southerly addition was added between 1907 and 1931, with two additional small courtyards. During the late 19th century, the building was gradually remodelled to house the National Preparatory School. (Frida Kahlo attended high school here.) The chapel and sacristy were remodeled to house the library and spaces for the laboratories were adapted. An observatory remained until the middle of the 20th century, and earlier chronicles mention the existence of a botanical garden and a small zoo.
