The Mexican Baroque Museum (Museo Internacional Del Barroco) is a museum with the theme of Baroque art, exhibits from tangible paintings, sculptures, architecture, food, to intangible music, theater, literature, etc., but the most striking or master for the museum to create a sense of flow, a series of curved walls to break the original cold architectural barrier, allowing visitors to traverse one after another A series of curved walls break down the otherwise cold architectural barriers, allowing visitors to fully experience the spirit of the Baroque as they traverse one exhibition space after another.

The museum's site covers an area of approximately 5 hectares and is located in the eastern central city of Pueblo, Mexico. It is located about 7 kilometers away from the city of Puebla in east-central Mexico, at the intersection of two important roads. The site is connected to the city by car, bus or bicycle. The parking space is integrated in two levels on the east side of the museum, with 440 parking spaces, 4 bus spaces, and parking for 42 motorcycles and 50 bicycles.

The front of the museum is designed with a large plaza It is designed to accommodate visitors. The plaza includes drop-off spaces for cars and buses, benches, information boards, a large interpretive platform, and an entrance canopy to welcome visitors. The façade allows for exhibition-related projections at night, while allowing the museum to be seen from a distance.

The building has a maximum height of 19.52 meters, rising 2 meters from the ground. It can therefore be easily seen from the two main roads and becomes a symbol of the surrounding area. The museum occupies two floors above ground. The total area of the building is 18,149 square meters, of which 9,855 square meters is on the ground floor, 7,316 square meters is on the second floor and 978 square meters is on the mezzanine. The concrete walls and floors were custom-made by a professional company and the structural system is entirely prefabricated. The exterior walls are prefabricated panels and the interior walls are cast in place. The prefabricated part is sandwiched by two 65mm white concrete blocks to create a direct exterior effect. The interior is a gray concrete cast in place on the site.

The exposed concrete has a certain texture to cover up the imperfections caused by the construction. The load-bearing walls are 36 cm thick and are prefabricated elements. The floors are semi-prefabricated panels, which are very easy to assemble. The structural strategy of the museum is considered as a whole, which allows for good earthquake resistance. The foundation section has different height differences according to the specific needs of the outdoor area.

The exhibition spaces are mainly located on the first floor, entering the building into the lobby and then directly into the exhibition spaces, atrium and upper floors. The ticket office, offices and stores are also located in the central lobby. In the lobby, you can rest on custom-made benches, and the space is directly connected to the exhibition section, allowing direct access to the permanent or temporary exhibitions.

There are eight permanent exhibition halls, each with a different theme, which together form the whole picture of Baroque art. Each of these rooms has a different theme, and together they form a complete picture of Baroque art. They use art, architecture, drama, music and literature to express the influence of the Baroque on all aspects of daily life. Eight rooms are connected to the terrace to enjoy the view of the surrounding park and lake. The courtyard is 1,800 square meters in size, where visitors can relax, and there is a huge fountain on the façade. Water is also a theme of Baroque art and is the inspiration for this museum.

The Baroque Museum can serve as a center of cultural exchange, not only within Mexico, but also with international ambitions. People from all over the world can exchange their ideas and feelings here. This cultural facility will become the focus of global attention and a source of joy and glory for the Mexican people.
