The world's richest man is unveiling a new museum in Mexico City that he says will let him share his huge art collection with the public.
Carlos Slim's new Soumaya Museum will exhibit a rotating selection of his 66,000 artworks. The collection includes pieces by Mexican artists such as Diego Rivera and European masters like Auguste Rodin, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali.
Slim presented a preview Tuesday of the high structure, which is dramatically angled and covered with 16,000 aluminum hexagons.
It opens to the public March 29, and entrance will be free.
The museum is named after Slim's late wife, Soumaya. It replaces a smaller museum of the similar name in southern Mexico City.
