The Museo Soumaya is a non-profit private museum in Mexico City. It was established in 1994 in Plaza Loreto by Lebanese-Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim Helu and named after his late wife Soumaya Domit Gemayel. The museum holds the largest collection of casts of sculptures by Auguste Rodin outside France collected by Carlos Slim since the 1980s on the advice of his wife. The Museum boasts of a collection of over 66,000 pieces of art. The museum has received heritage recognition from ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites) in 1996. In 2011, Carlos Slim constructed an architectural landmark building called Plaza Carso, a 6-story, 16,000-square-meter building, externally clad with aluminum tiles into which the main collection was shifted from Plaza Loreto. The new building houses art galleries, a library, a restaurant, and a 350-seat auditorium. The museum has an average of one million visitors per year.
