Inside the station, there is a collection of sculptures titled Petróleo, made of oil drums and created by Mexican artist Ernesto Paulsen Camba.

Instituto del Petróleo is a metro transfer station in the Gustavo A. Madero borough, in northern Mexico City.

The station lies along Eje Central (in the section formerly known as 100 Metros Avenue), and serves colonias (Mexican Spanish for "neighborhoods") of Valle del Tepeyac, San Bartolo Atepehuacan, and Nueva Industrial.

The collection, made of wrought iron oil drums, is named Petróleo (1986) and was created by Mexican sculptor Ernesto Paulsen Camba.
