★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Un museo único, quizá la única iglesia católica que perdió completamente su vocación religiosa para convertirse en el Museo nacional de la Cartografía.
La exposición de este museo es en su mayoría gráfica mostrando principalmente mapas que datan de distintas épocas del tiempo, desde el virreinato hasta la actualidad, sin embargo también muestra los instrumentos antiguos y más actuales que han sido usados para el desarrollo de la cartografía en México, además de que también muestra algunos aspectos relacionados al tema militar, a la historia de México y por supuesto a la historia del sitio mismo.
Es un museo mediano en el que además de la exposición sobre la cartografía también se puede apreciar de la bella arquitectura de lo que alguna vez fue una iglesia y un convento, en donde aún quedan algunos vestigios de como era en su interior originalmente o bien apreciar el recinto desde los bellos jardines que posee tanto al frente así como en la parte trasera.
Este museo es completamente gratuito y abre de martes a domingo, aunque eso sí el acceso es un poco complicado si se accede por el bajopuente pero es un camino seguro.
Su ubicación cerca de chapultepec, Tacubaya y el metro constituyentes le hacen una opción imperdible para toda la familia.
Como recomendación hasy que estar bastante atentos a la señalizacion que guía al museo y también tomar en cuenta que no posee estacionamiento.
 A unique museum, perhaps the only Catholic church that completely lost its religious vocation to become the National Museum of Cartography.
The exhibition of this museum is mostly graphic, mainly showing maps that date from different periods of time, from the viceroyalty to the present, however it also shows the old and most current instruments that have been used for the development of cartography in Mexico. , in addition to also showing some aspects related to the military theme, the history of Mexico and of course the history of the site itself.
It is a medium-sized museum in which, in addition to the exhibition on cartography, you can also appreciate the beautiful architecture of what was once a church and a convent, where there are still some vestiges of how it was originally inside or appreciate the enclosure from the beautiful gardens that it has both in front as well as in the back.
This museum is completely free and opens from Tuesday to Sunday, although access is a bit complicated if you go through the underbridge, but it is a safe path.
Its location near Chapultepec, Tacubaya and the constituent metro make it an unmissable option for the whole family.
As a recommendation, you have to be quite attentive to the signage that guides the museum and also take into account that it does not have a parking lot.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Too bad services. Older Adults have necessities (restrooms) and there is no public services. Very raw basic necessities. Are they the same “quality” in México museums? ?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ From the former convent of San Diego built in XVII century now remains only the church and some yards which survived the city advance and stays in an odd hard to reach place between freeways and modern bridges, but is well conserved and has a lot of historic maps and documents about ancient and modern Mexico and the description of how are those maps made before and nowadays. You must visit it, free entrance and an Oasis of peace in the middle of the frantic city life.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The originals are impressive and so is some of the equipment they've used in the past.
