Mexico City is home to countless art and science museums that you can explore during your visit, but what if you’re looking for a different kind of experience? If you’re a fan of all things quirky, you’ll be happy to hear that this city is home to several strangely specific museums—including these three.

Tequila and Mezcal Museum

Tequila and mescal are two of the most popular drinks that originate from Mexico, and you should definitely try them in their country of origin. If going to a regular bar simply isn’t your thing, how about visiting this museum that explores their history and also features tasting tours and rooftop bar?

Museum of Light

Science museums aren’t a rarity in Mexico City, but what makes this one so quirky is the fact it’s dedicated to one very specific topic—the phenomenon of light, optics, and color and their relationship to several scientific fields.

Museum of the Object

MODO aka Museo del Objeto del Objeto is dedicated to design and communications, and it explores these topics by celebrating the beauty of ordinary things. Its collection features over 100,000 objects that honor a collector in all of us, ranging from stationery and toys to graphic art and old electronics.
