The museum holds regular temporary exhibits related to its collection and purpose, including the work of artists.
During its opening in 2010, there was a temporary art exhibit by Carlos Aguirre named “ODA a la Mujer” (Ode to a Woman).
The exhibit consisted of five pieces created with phrases taken from a songbook series called Cancionero Picot.
Aguirre selected portions of lyrics from these books, which are in the museum’s collection and include the first published in 1928.
The selected lyrics were chosen as being depreciative to women to show misogyny.

Collection of Collections was the museum’s first major temporary exhibit after its opening, staged as part of the foundation’s mission to promote collecting.
The idea was to expand what is worthy of a museum exhibit, focusing on what the museum calls “urban collecting” about everyday objects not necessarily all that old.
The idea behind it is that these objects have something to say about Mexican society.

The Collection of Collections consisted of seven collections belonging to private hands and one selected from the permanent collection of MODO.
It is set up to show the wide range of collecting activities that occur in Mexico.
Along with the display, the museum has co sponsored talks and meeting about collecting with academics from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
 The total exhibit consisted of over 500 pieces with each collection given its own room.
Postcard collection of Carlos Villasana and Raul Torres, who are well known Mexico City collectors.
The exhibit only has about sixty of the over 15,000 which include rare ones by famous photographers such as Guillermo Kahlo, Hugo Brehme and Charles B. Waite who documented aspects of Mexico from the late 1800s to the early 20th century.
The 1980s tennis shoe ( belonging to Edgar Alejandro Cortes) and 1970s skateboard collections (belonging to Perseo Medrano) were arranged by Pablo Romo Molina, director of Street Active Lifestyle magazine.
Other collections included toy robots belonging to Barbara Berger, antique lamps belonging to Alexandre Lamaire and hats from the 1920s to 1950s part of Rodrigo Flores´ collection.
There is another room dedicated to Patricia Agraz´s hands collection and one room dedicated a set of domestic appliances which were part of the original donation to the museum by Newman.

In August and September 2011, the museum and the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México co-sponsored talks and workshops centered on design, communication and the collecting.
These events invite academics from the university along with other specialists on design and collection.
In September 2011, the museum inaugurated an exhibit called "El MODO de Tassier" based on the pencil collection and drawings of graphic designer Gonzalo Tassier.
