Three-legged chickens, cats born with 1 eye, organs destroyed by tapeworms, these are just a few of the gross biological deviances that you'll see on display in this very strange and unsettling museum. Guided tours available.

MUCA
Open interdisciplinary exhibition space. Typically has an exhibition on a specific topic for a period of a few months, then shuts down until a new exhibition is prepared. (Check the official website for events, other sources are unreliable.)
Rectory building of UNAM
For David Alfaro Siqueiros fans, the rectory building is of interest because of its large three-dimensional mosaic mural El pueblo a la Universidad, la Universidad al pueblo (The People to the University, the University to the People), created by the Mexican master from 1952-1956.
Sometimes dubiously described as the world's largest outdoor sculpture, the Espacio Escultórico is a round ring reminiscent of a modernized Stonehenge. It is a wide path lined with angular stone monoliths surrounding a patch of natural volcanic rock.
Olympic Stadium
The stadium actually pre-dates the 1968 Olympics for which it is named. The exterior has a large mural by Diego Rivera titled La Universidad, la familia y el deporte en México; the mural was created between 1952 and 1954. The stadium is used for university athletics and is home field for the Pumas soccer team.
