Founded in 1981 in Mexico City, Museo Tamayo organizes groundbreaking exhibitions of international contemporary art and showcases its collection, which includes artworks from the second half of the twentieth century to the present. The collection was initially formed by the museum’s founder, visual artist Rufino Tamayo, with his wife, Olga, with the intention of bringing art and ideas by international artists to their native Mexico. Since 1986, Museo Tamayo forms part of a national network of state-funded museums run by Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes. It receives additional support from Fundación Olga y Rufino Tamayo, a private foundation set-up by the Tamayo’s in 1989. Since 2010, Museo Tamayo has been producing new videos to enhance the museum visitor’s experience, as well as to introduce its program and its local arts community to virtual visitors coming through www.rufino.mx. Videos feature exhibition walkthroughs at the museum, documentation of public programs and events, artist studio visits and interviews with cultural practitioners.
