Overview

The National Museum of Anthropology is a national museum of Mexico. It’s the largest and most visited museum in Mexico.

This is the most important building in Latin America, with rooms that contain the pre-hispanic evidence of the Mexicas, Mayas, Toltecas and more cultures from the country through time.

The Anthropology Museum is the most emblematic place safeguarding the Mexican indigenous legacy. It stands as a symbol of identity, and as a mentor of generations that want to know about their cultural roots.

Wonder at its innovative design, the art, and the symbolism that has given the building a well-known personality around the world.

Here, you will see a great collection of pre-hispanic objects that were found in different parts of the country, which were made by the various cultures that developed in the vast territory that is now Mexico.
