SANCHEZ VEGA, María. Franz Mayer Museum: origin, history and present situation of a cultural institution dedicated to decorative arts and design. Intervención (Méx. DF) [online]. 2013, vol.4, n.8, pp.54-58. ISSN 2007-249X.
This overview is devoted to the Franz Mayer Museum (MFM), an institution that exists thanks to Franz Mayer, a German collector and bibliophile, who later became a Mexican citizen. In the 1970s, he donated his collection of decorative art and books to Mexico through a Cultural Trust, managed by the Bank of Mexico. This contribution analyzes the origins, history and present situation of the MFM which, since opening its doors in 1986 to date, has become an important reference point in Mexico's museological and cultural circles.
