In its 14 rooms of exhibition one can appraise works of renowned plastic artists as Rufino Tamayo, Frida Kahlo, Maurice Prendergast and Miguel Covarrubias, just to mention a few.
The museum's valuable collection was the property of Robert Brady (1928-1986), a wealthy North American artist, who acquired these pieces on his innumerable trips around the world. In 1959 he arrived in Mexico and settled down in Cuernavaca two years later. There he lived until his death.
In the capital of the state of Morelos, this North American patron of the arts acquired an elegant colonial building, known as the Casa de la Torre. This place used to be the former convent of the Asuncion. It was restored, while keeping its original architectural style.
Before his death, Brady expressed his wishes to convert his house into a great museum. His last wishes were granted in February of 1990. The museum is administrated by the Foundation Roberto Brady A.C. de Mexico.
