Carlos Slim, the world's richest man, is soon to open a museum in his home country of Mexico, reports Reuters. Slim's Soumaya museum, named for his late wife, is expected to open in November, and will house his collection of artwork by French sculptor
Auguste Rodin, considered the biggest outside France. The museum, designed by son-in-law Fernando Romero, is a six-story, chimney-shaped structure covered in shiny panels. It will be the anchor of a new development, including offices, apartments and retail, that Slim is building in western Mexico City with an initial investment of $750 million.
