Mexico City National Museum of Anthropology 288

This museum was my main purpuse while visiting Mexico City.

The Museo Nacional de Antropología (National Museum of Anthropology) is a national museum of Mexico. It’s one of the most interesting museums I’ve ever seen. It’s located in the area between Paseo de la Reforma and Calle Mahatma Gandhi within Chapultepec Park.

The museum contains significant archaeological and anthropological artifacts from the pre-Columbian heritage of Mexico, such as the Piedra del Sol (the "Stone of the Sun" or Aztec calendar stone) and the 16th-century Aztec statue of Xochipilli.

 

Designed in 1963 it has an impressive architecture with exhibition halls surrounding a patio with a huge pond and a vast square concrete umbrella supported by a single slender pillar (known as "el paraguas", Spanish for "the umbrella") around which splashes an artificial cascade. The halls are ringed by gardens, many of which contain outdoor exhibits. The museum has 23 rooms for exhibits.

 

Open 9.00 – 19.00.

Closed on Mondays.

Admission 51 pesos=4 USD
