Since 1977, the FEMSA Collection has built a leading collection in Mexico and Latin America. Today, approaching its 50th anniversary, it reaffirms its commitment to creating spaces for encounters between people, ideas, and communities. For five decades, it has been a key player in the professionalization of the art world and in collaboration with institutions both within and outside the country. Its history is linked to pioneering spaces such as the Museum of Monterrey (1977-2000), where it began to establish itself publicly and where the first core elements of its collection were formed. After its time as a museum, the Collection adopted a traveling nature, expanding its reach through collaborations with museums and organizations in various regions. This journey laid the foundation for openness, collaboration, and mobility, which continue to define the institution.
The FEMSA Collection aims to create spaces for connection, reflection, and dialogue through art. Its holdings serve as the starting point for developing proposals, and content focused on the dissemination and research of diverse artistic expressions, enabling meaningful approaches to modern and contemporary Latin American art, and fostering critical thinking, creativity, and civic engagement. Looking ahead, it is committed to incorporating historically marginalized perspectives, strengthening dialogue with diverse audiences, and developing projects that address the cultural, social, and environmental challenges of our time.
