Most of the ones I've seen here have been from Mexican artists, but not all of them. Many of the exhibits that come through here go on display at other museums in Mexico, as well, like a tour. Sometimes the museum is calm and relaxing; other times the staff seem overly vigilant and assertively make sure you follow the "right path" to view the art. The museum store carries some excellent books on exhibits that have been hosted at MARCO. It also carries some regional, artisan clothing and gift items.

This very large open space park has multiple entrance points. We walked here all the way from the starting of the Rio Santa Lucia, back at the downtown area of Monterrey. It was a long walk but didn't seem so. Here, you'll find plenty of shaded places to sit and relax. They have good clean restrooms, as well as places to buy typical street food snacks. They do have a high end restaurant that requires reservations and a lookout point. We didn't do either of these. We walked all the way to the Puente Verde which is a pedestrian bridge over the main highway.

Best highlight is the aviary with many peacocks, peahens, geese, ducks, parrots and more! You can buy bird feed to share with the animals. The sculpture garden includes statues from all over Mexico dating back to the 700s CE and there is an interactive science/physics play area. The museum itself is very interactive as well and the exhibit on the human body lets you play games to learn about the components of the body. There are two impressive floors devoted to a lego exhibit (which was a visiting exhibition while we were there.) The cafeteria has the "all-the-rage" (crepe-like) ice cream roll for sale which is reasonable tasting but VERY fun to watch and attempt to eat.

The Museo del Acero Horno 3 is a must-visit in Monterrey, especially if you're curious about industry, science, or architecture. The museum is housed inside an actual blast furnace, giving you a unique behind-the-scenes look at steel production and Monterrey's industrial history. Exhibits are highly interactive, with hands-on demonstrations that make learning fun for both kids and adults. One of the highlights is the Panoramic Tower, which offers stunning views of Monterrey and Parque Fundidora, especially at sunset. There are also guided tours, workshops, and temporary exhibitions that keep the experience fresh.

Overall, Museo del Acero Horno 3 is educational, fun, and visually impressive, making it a standout destination for locals and visitors alike.
