Museo Nacional de Antropologia (National Museum of Anthropology) Overview
Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology is one of the world's great museums. Opened in 1964, the exhibition halls house Mexico's greatest archaeological collection, celebrating the country's pre-Columbian inhabitants and its existing indigenous peoples. As it is impossible to cover the whole museum at once, it is more rewarding to limit a visit to a few areas of particular interest. Some of the most fascinating rooms are the Mexica, which showcases Aztec culture, the Maya hall, and the Teotihuacan hall. The Sala de Orientacion provides an overall view of the main Mexican cultures through an audiovisual presentation, and there are also rooms devoted to recent archaeological discoveries.
