The International Baroque Museum (MIB) is a building designed by the eminent Japanese architect Toyo Ito (Prizker Prize 2013), which houses outstanding expressions of the vast artistic and cultural heritage of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, one of the most prolific eras of the history of humanity.
The venue captures the multicultural sensibility that linked Mexico and especially Puebla with the most advanced manifestations of the plastic arts, music, literature and science, in a period of universal expansion of trade and political structures. Additionally, the Museum captures the contemporary neo-baroque sensibility, as it reappears in the media, fashion and other social activities.
