__**UNIVERSITY MUSEUM OF CONTRMPORARY ART**__ 

This space in the University Cultural Center took 32 years to appear. This work was designed by the Mexican architect Teodoro González de León who was asked by the rector, and they set out to create a museum which was totally different from the ones that already were there. They wanted something different from didactic museums, they wanted to present something wise and powerful.

The museum openeds its doors in 2008. During the creation of thise work ,Teodoro visited forty museums in the world, to know about the needs of the different artists.

The main facade of the museum is composed of an inclined plane glass that draws attention of the spectators, which gives the face a square shape. This museum contains several showrooms, many have large in size and they are located on the top floor. The rooms are flexible spaces for curators and also challenging spaces for artists. On the ground floor are located the services, offices, wineries, a great restaurant. All rooms are illuminated with natural light.

The volume responds to the environment: towards the great square portico formed by the slope glazing; volumes eastward curved broken dialogue with the volume of the Concert Hall and the west, towards the access road, are the white volumes different at different heights, which advertised the museum-everything is built in white concrete. In my opinion this is a beautiful work that responds very well to its environment, also it is different, since it does not follow the typical model a museum. Has the whole structure was very well planned, soand, I think the architect did a phenomenal job.
