About this trap
The Museo de Arte de Ciudad Juárez is a 1960s building by Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, with a circular hall under a translucent plastic dome and a protected design that cannot be altered. Since August it has run a special afternoon and evening schedule while its air conditioning is repaired, so a morning visit may find the doors closed. Confirm the current hours on the museum's social media, then plan around the dome hall and the temporary shows. The old water mirror is no longer filled because of water shortages.
