Museo Nacional de Antropología - 11560 Ciudad de México
About Museo Nacional de Antropología
La sede actual del Museo Nacional de Antropología fue inaugurada el 17 de septiembre de 1964, y por más de cinco décadas, ha cumplido con la misión de investigar, conservar, exhibir y difundir las colecciones arqueológicas y etnográficas más importantes del país.
Desde su concepción, este ícono de la arquitectura urbana del siglo XX, fue ideado para ser, más que un repositorio, un espacio de reflexión sobre la rica herencia indígena de nuestra nación multicultural. Sus 22 salas y sus más de 45 mil metros cuadrados de construcción lo convierten en el museo más grande de México y en uno de los más destacados del mundo.
En este importante recinto se albergan los testimonios arqueológicos y antropológicos forjados por múltiples grupos culturales durante cientos de años de historia; a su vez, rinde un homenaje a los pueblos indígenas del México de hoy a través de un nutrido acervo que rescata los usos, representaciones, expresiones, conocimientos y tradiciones que son patrimonio intangible de la nación y legado que pertenece a toda la humanidad.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very thorough overview of human development, including a bit of evolution, then tracing the history of civilizations in Mexico. Lots and lots and lots of pots and sculptures. I don’t agree with most people that this is one of the best museums in the world, but if you have any interest in history it’s worth a visit. One hour was enough for me.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the best museum you will find in CDMX!
The only drawback of visiting it is that you will have no time to see everything! There is a lot of stuff to see and each room have their own objective. Don't forget to also see the little gardens outside each room.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The entrance fee is $85 Mexican peso. It's massive inside. Thousands of artifacts and sculptures you can see. It will take you two to four hours to tour inside. They guards will ask you to put your backpack in front of you or if it's too big, you can leave it on the left side of the entance. This museum is a must-see in Mexico city

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you go here you need a minimum of 3 hours and that’s just the main floor. I cannot express how well done and organized this museum is. The architecture of the museum alone is impressive with its skyscraper water fountain; it combines both indoor and outdoor exhibits, underworld tombs and links them all perfectly. A must see for history ir cultural buff.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great museum with unique artifacts but there is a lot of room for improvement. The placement of items inside each exhibit seems random and does not follow any chronological order, which makes following the story of any specific civilization unnecessarily confusing. Virtually all the descriptions are written in Spanish so get ready to use translate apps all the time and make sure to have a battery pack for your phone.
They provide an app that has some audio description in English, however, the app is not maintained well and is extremely buggy. Moreover, there is no good way to figure out which items are included and the app or how to find them aside from a couple of pre-planned tours that the app offers.
I would love to see a number displayed on each item, which then can be typed in the app to get relevant text/audio of each specific item.
With a bit more English and some work on the app this place can be incredible!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of highlights of our visit to Mexico City was visiting the National Museum of Anthropology. An amazing museum showing the national treasures of Mexico and Mayan history.
The spaciousness is impressive and the vast square concrete umbrella in the courtyard with waterfall is stunning. You could spend all day in here and it is worth getting a guide to show you the different rooms and timeline of Mexican culture.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Other-worldly trip inside a world-class museum. Stunning collection of artifacts and history. Beautiful space with prudent Covid restrictions (at the moment). Fun to walk around on a nice day. Like most amazing museums, it would take days or more to properly appreciate it all. Fans of the Mayans and Aztecs won’t be disappointed. Bucket list stuff.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Prepare to spend all day here, it is a huge establishment that has so many artifacts, sculptures and monuments. I love that it has indoor and outdoor parts that allow you to see lots of different things. I spent 2 hours here and i barely got through 1/3 of the exhibits! I think this is a must-see, one of the best museums I’ve ever been to.
Also, most of the exhibits have English translations as well!
