MEXICO CITY — The world’s richest man, telecom tycoon Carlos Slim, is opening a museum in Mexico City to share his vast collection of fine art and collectibles with the public without charging a single peso. The Soumaya Museum is named after the late wife of Slim — whose fortune was estimated at $53.5 billion by Forbes magazine last year. Admission is to be free at the museum, which opens to the public March 29. It will display a rotating selection of Slim’s 66,000 artworks, including pieces by Mexican artists such as Diego Rivera and Rufino Tamayo, as well as European masters such as Auguste Rodin.
