Anthropology National Museum

The current headquarters of the National Museum of Anthropology was inaugurated on September 17, 1964, and for more than five decades, it has fulfilled the mission of researching, conserving, exhibiting, and disseminating the most important archaeological and ethnographic collections in the country.

Since its inception, this icon of 20th-century urban architecture was designed to be, more than a repository, a space for reflection on the rich indigenous heritage of the multicultural nation. Its 22 rooms and it's more than 45 thousand square meters of construction make it the largest museum in Mexico and one of the most outstanding in the world.

In this important enclosure, the archaeological and anthropological testimonies forged by multiple cultural groups during hundreds of years of history are housed; at the same time, it pays tribute to the indigenous peoples of Mexico today through a rich heritage that rescues the uses, representations, expressions, knowledge, and traditions that are the intangible heritage of the nation and a legacy that belongs to all humanity.
