El museo fue fundado por el Dr. Alvar Carrillo Gil y su esposa Carmen Tejero de Carrillo Gil, con la finalidad de albergar y exhibir la colecci\u00f3n que conformaron, a partir de 1938, a lo largo de m\u00e1s de tres d\u00e9cadas.\u202fDurante este periodo, llevaron a cabo una labor fundamental para el estudio y difusi\u00f3n del arte mexicano, presentando su colecci\u00f3n en diversas exposiciones internacionales antes de consolidar la intenci\u00f3n de construir un espacio ex profeso para resguardarla, exhibirla y hacerla p\u00fablica.\u202f \u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
El Dr. Carrillo Gil encarg\u00f3 a Fernando Gamboa el proyecto de exhibici\u00f3n del museo y\u202fa los arquitectos Augusto H. \u00c1lvarez y Enrique Carral\u202fIcaza el proyecto arquitect\u00f3nico. El proyecto, iniciado en 1958, se concibi\u00f3 a partir de un sistema de rampas para permitir la circulaci\u00f3n continua del visitante, adem\u00e1s de un tragaluz central que permite la entrada de iluminaci\u00f3n natural. La obra arquitect\u00f3nica comenz\u00f3 en 1960, pero se interrumpi\u00f3 al a\u00f1o siguiente debido a dificultades econ\u00f3micas. La perseverancia del matrimonio Carrillo Tejero logr\u00f3 que en 1973 el proyecto se retomara para finalmente inaugurar el 30 de agosto de 1974.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
El edificio fue remodelado en la d\u00e9cada de los ochenta por el Arq. Augusto F. \u00c1lvarez Fuentes \u2013hijo del Arq. Augusto H. \u00c1lvarez\u2013, quien sustituy\u00f3 las ventanas de la fachada por placas de concreto martelinado con la finalidad de resaltar el edificio como un volumen compacto y cerrado al exterior. Las rampas interiores, imagen ic\u00f3nica desde la concepci\u00f3n original del edificio, conforman el logotipo del MACG desde 1998.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
