The museum is very spaciously laid out, with a large inner courtyard. The exhibition rooms dedicated to the various Mexican cultures are arranged around it. There is an endless number of exhibits.

Getting started

What to expect

This is Mexico’s most important cultural institution. The museum houses over 20 permanent exhibit halls filled with artifacts from pre-Hispanic civilizations. You'll see massive Olmec heads, Mayan tombs, Mixtec codices, and iconic displays like the Stone of the Sun. The open-air courtyards and architectural design reflect Indigenous worldviews and are an experience in themselves.
