A House of Fascinating Design, Curated by Snobbery The architecture speaks volumes; the staff speaks volumes more—though not in the way one might hope. The space itself delivers. What one doesn’t expect is to be treated as an inconvenience rather than a guest. When we wrote ahead requesting a simple scheduling accommodation—might two tickets be adjusted so we could tour together?—we were met with silence. Upon arrival, we learned this silence was, apparently, pedogogical. We should have known from the website that such requests aren’t entertained. How terribly dull of us not to intuit policy from absence. The tour itself was a curious affair. We were split into groups by gender and asked to stand in particular orders accordingly. The commentary veered into observations about femininity, offhand remarks about the Pope, and various tangents unrelated to the actual space we’d come to see. The overall atmosphere was less “welcoming exploration” and more “compulsory lecture delivered to the insufficiently reverent.” Here’s the thing: this house is genuinely interesting. It deserves visitors. But somewhere along the way, some of its custodians seem to have mistaken architectural significance for permission to treat guests as though they should feel privileged merely to have been admitted. There are hundreds of remarkable spaces in this world that manage to be both important and gracious. Worth seeing. Just brace yourself for the chill—and I don’t mean the modernist aesthetic.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

It was just okay. I was expecting a little bit more given the hype but it was perfectly fine. I don't know the cultural importance of this man since I'm not from Mexico but I would have thought his home you would have have been more interesting. And I would have thought for $25 you would have had more than just a self-guided tour. Just ok
