Museum Exhibitions
Permanent Collections
Recorrido Sala Colección Pago en Especie Se conformó debido al sistema de recaudación fiscal alternativo, originado en México para facilitar a los artistas plásticos el pago de sus impuestos, mediante la aportación directa de sus obras. Ahí se exhiben pinturas, collages, arte-objeto, grabados y esculturas de Diego Rivera, Raúl Anguiano, Rufino Tamayo, José Chávez Morado, Vicente Rojo, Luis Nishizawa y Roger von Gunten, entre muchos otros. Sala Colección Acervo Patrimonial Está conformada por alrededor de diez mil piezas de índole variada, como piezas de mobiliario, equipos de oficina, herrajes, objetos de ornato y artes aplicadas; pinturas, esculturas, filatelia fiscal y numismática, todo ello rescatado de oficinas del Palacio Nacional, la Casa de Moneda, las oficinas federales de Hacienda, el taller de impresión de estampillas y valores y la Dirección General de Aduanas, entre otras.
