The Museo Soumaya has a collection of over 66,000 pieces of art; the majority of the art consists of European works from the 15th to the 20th centuries.

It holds Mexican art, religious relics, historical documents and coins. The museum contains the world's largest collection of colonial era coins; the museum holds the largest collection of casts of sculptures by Auguste Rodin outside France, the world's largest private collection of his art. Slim owns a total of 380 works of art by Rodin, his late wife, whom he credits with teaching him much of what he knows about art, was an admirer of Rodin's work. In addition to Rodin, some notable European artists whose work is displayed include Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, the circle of Leonardo da Vinci, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Joan Miró, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, El Greco, Camille Claudel, Tintoretto; the most valuable work of art in the collection is believed to be a version of Madonna of the Yarnwinder by a member of the circle of Leonardo da Vinci. Another version of the same painting has been valued at over £30 Million. Several Mexican artists are featured, including Diego Rivera and Rufino Tamayo.

The director of the museum has claimed that the total worth of the art it holds is over $700 million. The museum's director, Alfonso Miranda, has described its approach as "not a copy of the Occident; the museum notably includes some types of European art that have not been permanently displayed in Latin America in the past. The museum collection includes many of the most well known European artists from the 15th to 20th centuries, in particular a large collection of sculptures by Rodin and Salvador Dali. Carlos Slim bought a large number of sculptures by Rodin in the 1980s and the value of many of these pieces has soared since. With a collection of over 100 Rodin works, some critics have claimed that Slim "...is more of a bargain hunter than an aesthete". The original building of the Museo Soumaya, opened in 1994, is in the Plaza Loreto of San Ángel in the southern part of Mexico City; the new building in Plaza Carso in the Nuevo Polanco district was designed by the Mexican architect Fernando Romero and opened in 2011.

The building is named after Lebanese-Mexican Soumaya Domit Gemayel, the late wife of Lebanese-Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim Helo. Her relatives are the important political family Gemayel in Lebanon and is a cousin of the former President's Bashir and Amine Gemayel. Built near the Magdalena river the museum's first building is on what was part of the encomienda of the conquistador Hernán Cortés in the 15th century, his son Martín Cortés installed a wheat watermill on the site which in the 19th century was converted to a paper mill. In 1905 a fire broke out in the facility and as a result, on 13 October 1905, its owners sold to Alberto Lenz. In 1906 Lenz converted the mill to a factory named Fábrica de Papel de Loreto y Peña Pobre after which the current plaza is named. In the 1980s, another fire destroyed most of the facilities and operations were transferred to the state of Tlaxcala; this led to the Grupo Carso undertaking an urban conversion of the ruins to turn it into what is now the site of the museum - founded in 1994.

In 1996 the museum received heritage recognition from ICOMOS. The museum building featured four distinct rooms each of which had a specific theme: European & Mexican landscape. In 2014, on the occasion of its 19th anniversary, it hosted the exhibition European Landscapes, showing 50 works by Pierre-Antoine Demachy, Klaes Molenaer and Joost Carhelisz. 24 of these were new acquisitions. In 2011 the main collection moved to a new 16,000-square-metre building, constructed in the north of the city in Plaza Carso; the building is a 46-metre-high six-story building covered by 16,000 hexagonal aluminum tiles. The aluminium used in the project was supplied by a company, owned by Carlos Slim; the new building was designed by the Mexican architect Fernando Romero, married to a daughter of Carlos Slim, engineered with Ove Arup and Frank Gehry, cost $70 million to build. The museum has a narrow entrance; the top floor of the building is opened. In addition to the art galleries, the new building contains a library, a 350-seat auditorium.

Each of the six floors of the museum are distinctly shaped. The weight of the building is held by an exoskeleton of 28 vertical curved steel columns and seven beams encircling the structure built by a Slim-owned company that manufactures offshore oil rigs. In addition, the roof is kept stable through its suspension from a cantilever; the floors are made of high quality marble, imported from Greece. T
