Description

Step inside the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City, almost 50 years after its opening, and discover why it continues to be the main space dedicated to preserving the legacy of Mexico's indigenous peoples. Considered a symbol of identity and a reference for those seeking to learn about their cultural roots, this museum is the most visited in the country, with around 2 million visitors a year. Accompanied by an expert tour guide, you will learn about the various exhibits and their historical relevance. See objects excavated from archaeological sites in vast areas of what is now Mexico, and delve into the cultures that created them. Visit the rooms that house small pieces, such as spear points, used by the continent's first hunters more than 10,000 years ago. Also admire simple clay utensils, used both in daily life and in religious rituals. Be fascinated by iconic objects, such as the Sun Stone (Aztec calendar), as your tour guide explains the significance of these priceless pieces and how historians have re-examined the development of Mesoamerican cultures, such as the Maya, Aztec and Zapotec. At the end of the guided visit, enjoy free time to explore the museum at your own pace.
