What guests say

An amazing experience! I left with a deep understanding of the artwork that I wouldn’t have otherwise. I also loved Constanza’s approach to viewing art, and I will take that with me from this tour.

KathrynBoston, USA
Constanza was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable and incredibly excited to share the history of the artwork. The Slow Art experiences she creates are relaxing and wonderful. They really have you staying in the moment and truly appreciating the space, ambience and art.

VioletaChicago, USA
This was a very unique experience and introduction to UNAM. I highly recommend it!

JohnCanada
Constanza was very kind throughout the tour. The experience was much more enriching thanks to her connection with UNAM. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to slow down and approach art from a different perspective.
