Saatchi + Corcoran

Here is a video tour of the Saatchi Gallery in London... I think the monotony becomes very interesting and almost artistic if you watch the entire video. Also, the relationship of the skylights to the art and canvases, along with the scale of the art is interesting. http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/video-tour.htm

I also recommend visiting the Corcoran in Washington, D.C. if you haven't already. It is a good example of museum in a restored building. Their curation of art within their gallery space is also one of the best I've seen, in my personal opinion. http://www.corcoran.org

Mexico's museums after the economic fall and flu

Mexican Food

If you have a Netflix account, I recommend you check out this episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations on Mexico which is available for instant viewing. He visits both Mexico City and Puebla and explores the local food and culture.

It dosent realate directly to architecture, but I felt it was great to watch someone walk the streets and get immersed in the the same culture that we will be experiencing soon ourselves.
