Museo Nacional de Antropología in Ciudad Nezahualcoyotl

A great museum, large site and much to see. Clearly had some real thought put into the design and layout, including some outside spaces you can walk through which was lovely and shielded the view of the road which was nice.The price is very reasonable at 85 pesos per person and they take card which is useful (national museum of art only took cash and charges c20% more if using US dollars)Bag storage area if you’re carrying a rucksack which is well organised, and mandatory - you can keep small bags but not rucksacks around nor water bottles.Really enjoyed this and spent a couple of hours there, didn’t use the restaurant but is one for a break.Would recommend getting here early, we were there for 10am opening as by the time we came out around noon there were queues to get in and a wait. We also went in a week day as we could.There were translations into English on not all, but many sections so we were able to read quite a bit to understand the context of the pieces

This is a must see if youre visiting mexico. This is one of the best Mesa american, pre-columbian anthropological museums. It contains a massive amount pre-colombian Mayan, Aztecs and other historical artifacts. Its a massive structure the architecture that is a wonderful architectural design and its a full day.

what a great place and a definitely must see on Mexican culture and evolution. Maya section is amazing but so are the others. you need to bring time

Great collection of artifacts and displays. I recommend going with a tour guide who can properly explain the history and story of the artifacts. If you decide to go on your own, get there a little before it opens so you can get ahead of the line of kids on a field trip.

The exhibits were wonderful but in view of limited English translation available to explain on the exhibits we did not fully enjoy the experience. The museum shd consider providing audio guide in english.

Very Nice 👍🏾Very CleanBring a mask 😷 - *Rules*-Only 2 Olmec heads tho 🙃A lot of replicas, example Montezuma headdress.All in All a extremely nice experience.Plan at least 3hrs to visit ✌🏾

This is the most enjoyable museum I have visited since I visited the British Museum as a kid!Very informative, key descriptions were in both a English and Spanish. Strongly suggest you see the 30 minutes introductory video before you navigate through the museum to give yourself a foundation of the rich history of Mexico. You won’t be disappointed.Ticket is 85 peso at the door. There is also a huge open space where you can sit in the garden to enjoy some local music and ad hoc performances.

Such an awesome museum. I’m typically not into them but the pieces are extremelyDetailed and ornate. We were there for 2 hours and still didn’t get to see everything. Suggestion would be to see the outdoor things first because they closed them about 1 hr before closing.

This place is huge! You honestly could spend all day here learning about everything. I would definitely invest in a good tour guide and just do this museum on its own and do the castle museum a different day.

The museum is huge! I’d recommend saving at least 2-3 hours to walk through it. The exhibits are beautiful and have lots of artifacts displayed. There’s also a good mix of indoor/outdoor spaces to explore.

Please put this as your first destination in Mexico if you prioritize learning about its history and culture. I only spent one day here and I wasnt able to finish the whole museum, but I wish I had two days. There is so much interesting information and I feel like I knew Mexico on a whole different level after the visit.

Awesome, worth the stop. You could spend half the day here, if not more. Cheap entry. Theres a nice restaurant on site. Tons to see. Bathrooms were clean, which was a plus. The bosque de Chapultepec was right across the road. Tons of vendors outside too made things interesting.

This place has a lot of great exhibits and a lot of opportunities to learn about the culture of the Aztecs. unfortunately if you do not speak Spanish less than half the sites are translated in English so if you do not pay for a tour there is a lot you will miss. They did not offer audio tour devices. This is a big miss.

The must-go museum when in the city of Mexico! The building is relatively new and the exhibits cover a large variety. A great anthropological exhibition of Mexico, which worths enjoying, and a relatively low ticket price; the ticket cost was 85 pesos per person (full ticket). No long cues, despite how popular is the museum, and all the COVID safety measures were followed.

Absolutely staggering amount to take in …On par with the Caro Egyptian museum when it comes to large items. The outdoor displays were very impressive too. There is a great restaurant in the museum too. The gift store had some items priced cheaper than some sellers in the street.The only reason I can’t give it five stars is because for one of the top ten visited museums in the world I thought more of the exhibits would have English alongside Spanish in their explanations… unfortunately my Spanish is a work in progress.

One of my fav museums I ever visited. It’s beautiful, had a lot of artifacts and interesting information. There’s also a lot to be found in English, so you won’t be lost if you don’t speak Spanish. The only downside is that the museum is so big that you get lost in all there is to see. It’s not easy to make a coherent story out of everything. Nonetheless, the museum (85MXis absolutely worth it, with stunning gardens and huge replicas.

One of my favorite places to visit in Mexico City. I easily spend half a day here learning in the different exhibits which include Central Americans, Mayans, Aztecs, Oaxacans.Many stone sculptures and beautiful ancient art. Several of the rooms have recreations of archeological scenes. There are murals in the Teotihuacan exhibit and tombs in the Oaxaca and Maya rooms. There’s also a large courtyard to relax when you need a break from all the walking. $85 pesos per person, about 4 dollars.

World class museum in Mexico City biggest park. Entry fee is really cheap, the only thing I didn’t care for was the layout of the building/exhibits. Upstairs or down, building to the left, or to the right? We were never quite sure so I was always feeling like I was missing something. But the quantity and quality were on par with anywhere else I’ve been in the world. This place deserves a high place on your things to do list in Mexico City

A gem of a museum. There may be a bit of a wait to get tickets but the wait is worth it. The admission price is only 5 USD so it is incredibly affordable, compared to US museums, to visit multiple days.According to my local relatives, you need to allocate at least two days if you want to see every exhibit. I visited for about 5 hours and I did not see even half of the exhibits so definitely allow yourself quite a bit of time if youre like me and want to read every plaque and admire every little detail. It was an amazing place to learn about the diverse groups that have inhabited the country and to learn more about my ancestors and culture. Wear comfortable shoes because youll do a lot of walking. Also if you dont speak Spanish, you may want to bring along someone that can translate for you since most of the info is in Spanish.I dont recommend the restaurant, but if you really want to eat there, its not terrible.

This is a MUST SEE in CDMX!! I highly recommend to get a guide. They are VERY knowledgeable!! You will get even more out of your visit. In any case GO!!

This was my favorite experience in the city! I didn’t even manage to get all the way through with seeing everything. After 3 hours, I was exhausted but really wish I had completed so it’s such fantastic history and works and all so well documented and maintained. Truly a beautiful place and honestly, what a landmark! 10/10, you simply must go.

Beautiful museum and collections. Our toddler loved the huge water pilar fountain and pond in the commons area. The restaurant was also nice but not too much variety for us vegetarians.

We visited off of the back of our Teotihuacan trip and found the museum quite good.The museum is split into a lot of different sections and honestly if you want to see everything you will need an entire day. It was huge and we only managed to get through 4 exhibits in 1.5 hours.The main signs are translated but a lot of the information on individual pieces was only in Spanish - this is fine but something I wish Id known in advance.The museum itself is very interesting and nicely laid out with things to see both inside and outside. It was good and pretty inexpensive to visit. Combine it with a trip to the park.We didnt need to buy a ticket in advance but when you enter you go through a bag search and security check and have to check in any bigger bags to their lockers (free). It was very clean and open.My favourite thing was a sad frog statue. It is big and amazing! No replicas to buy though... Sad times.

A MUST SEEIts the most wonderful museum that we visits in our life. The architecture of the building itself is a piece of art.The artefacts are SUBLIMEIts accessible for all ages. All our kids enjoy it so much.We plan a full day in there. And decide to eat at the museum.The restaurant...that was another suprise for us. Its one of the best restaurant in Mexico. For us its a 5 stars restaurant... And my god the drinks are sublime. In fact each time we go to mexico, we eat There

Beautiful and massive museum! We spent four hours here and were mentally exhausted. So much to see and learn. I highly recommend visiting this museum.

Must visit when you are in Mexico City. Took us about 3 hours to walk around and get a nice experience of the place. 90% of the artifacts are real just read the descriptions. Really cheap entrance and awesome place to walk and get some food from outside vendors

Absolutely impressive collection, and entrance is only 85pesos, worth the visit no doubt.There are 2 floors, each having 11 halls. The ground floor is the Archeology area, takes you around the regions ancient cultures, habits, beliefs, artifacts, etc.Upper floor is the Ethnography area, exhibiting Mexicos indigenous groups current cultural diversity.Would take at least 3hours to comfortably tour the inside.Cons:- only a few descriptions have English translation as well, 95% is Spanish only.- most artifacts are not dated.- half of the top floor was locked down.

One of highlights of our visit to Mexico City was visiting the National Museum of Anthropology. An amazing museum showing the national treasures of Mexico and Mayan history.The spaciousness is impressive and the vast square concrete umbrella in the courtyard with waterfall is stunning. You could spend all day in here and it is worth getting a guide to show you the different rooms and timeline of Mexican culture.

Only the ground level galleries were open during our visit due to construction. Still so much to see! The museum does not have much English on the placards. Get the app.PRO TIP 1: There is a brand new, free app that offers a guided audio tour released Jan 2022. Get the QR code to download from the information desk.PRO TIP 2: Come early, as the large groups arrive en masse after lunch.PRO TIP 3: There are self-serve ticket kiosks to use instead of waiting in line for a ticket.PRO TIP 4: The welcome theater show is worth the time. Its well produced and sets the stage for the museum.

An overwhelming amount of artifacts for all of the anthropology buffs. Could use some curation. You could spend the whole day there. Could do without some if the replications. Lovely waterfall outside in the courtyard.

Very thorough overview of human development, including a bit of evolution, then tracing the history of civilizations in Mexico. Lots and lots and lots of pots and sculptures. I don’t agree with most people that this is one of the best museums in the world, but if you have any interest in history it’s worth a visit. One hour was enough for me.

Mesmerising exhibits which offer a glimpse into the lives of the pre-columbian mesoamericans cultures of Mexico. The museum is quite large and it would take at least 2 hours to see all the galleries.

Absolutely incredible cultural experience. I highly recommend let me say that again I highly recommend you get one of the local guides they dont charge very much and they are very knowledgeable the guide we had spoke English and Spanish. I heard one speak German and one speak French. This is a must-see if you are in Mexico City and it is the equivalent of about $4.25 entry fee.

Very interesting exhibitions. Good place to visit during stay in Mexico City. The best part for me is of Maya civilization.It is good to be there in a morning (starts from 10later was many visitors.

Best museum I’ve been to. We didn’t even get to discover the whole thing, but what I did see was nothing short of exceptional. Can’t wait to go back.

SIMPLY AMAZING, there are so many things that you have to go through everything in 2 to 3 days because there is the first floor that explains relatively all the archeology and has many rooms such as introduction to anthropology, settlement of America, Preclassic in the Central Highlands, Teotihuacan, the Toltecs and the Epiclassic, Mexica, Oaxaca, Gulf Coast, Maya, the North and finally the West.The second floor is Ethnography rooms, consisting of Indian villages, Gran Nayar, Pureecherio, Otopame, Sierra de Puebla, Huasteca and Totonacapan, Mayan villages of the plains and jungles, the Nahua, the northwest and Mayan villages in the mountains.There are exits to the gardens, a consultation room, restrooms, a temporary exhibition hall, two auditoriums, a restaurant, elevators for the disabled, a museum souvenir store, and a national library of anthropology and history.Those who still do not know this place, run to visit it, it is advisable to be comfortable because it is too much walking since there are a total of 24 rooms and the rooms are too large.

Prepare to spend all day here, it is a huge establishment that has so many artifacts, sculptures and monuments. I love that it has indoor and outdoor parts that allow you to see lots of different things. I spent 2 hours here and i barely got through 1/3 of the exhibits! I think this is a must-see, one of the best museums I’ve ever been to.Also, most of the exhibits have English translations as well!

Other-worldly trip inside a world-class museum. Stunning collection of artifacts and history. Beautiful space with prudent Covid restrictions (at the moment). Fun to walk around on a nice day. Like most amazing museums, it would take days or more to properly appreciate it all. Fans of the Mayans and Aztecs won’t be disappointed. Bucket list stuff.

For archaeology, anthropology and history lovers is a must visit in Mexico City. Would recommend to spend 2-3 hours there if you want to see everything

This place was filled with some of the coolest artifacts I have seen. Also really nice people to help guide you. I recommend going their as soon as possible. )check out the photos(

This is the best museum you will find in CDMX!The only drawback of visiting it is that you will have no time to see everything! There is a lot of stuff to see and each room have their own objective. Dont forget to also see the little gardens outside each room.

The entrance fee is $85 Mexican peso. Its massive inside. Thousands of artifacts and sculptures you can see. It will take you two to four hours to tour inside. They guards will ask you to put your backpack in front of you or if its too big, you can leave it on the left side of the entance. This museum is a must-see in Mexico city

Great museum with unique artifacts but there is a lot of room for improvement. The placement of items inside each exhibit seems random and does not follow any chronological order, which makes following the story of any specific civilization unnecessarily confusing. Virtually all the descriptions are written in Spanish so get ready to use translate apps all the time and make sure to have a battery pack for your phone.They provide an app that has some audio description in English, however, the app is not maintained well and is extremely buggy. Moreover, there is no good way to figure out which items are included and the app or how to find them aside from a couple of pre-planned tours that the app offers.I would love to see a number displayed on each item, which then can be typed in the app to get relevant text/audio of each specific item.With a bit more English and some work on the app this place can be incredible!

Very large but easy to walk. Less busy before noon. 85 pesos each Cash, Credit or debt.

You need a lot of time to get through the museum but it is all worth it. If youre up for learning some history of these beautiful cultures than you are in the right place! One note. You do not need to buy expensive guided tours you can just buy the tickets at the entrance.

An absolut MUSST SEE! Whether it is a start bevore you travel around and visit the Temples or as a finish, when you have seen them all and now you like to have a fundament background. I recommend a guide. We booked a Combi-Tour with the Chapultepec Castle and it was wounderful. Also no problem, if you cant walk a lot. Just remember, the famous fethercrown is a replica. If you wanna see the real one, you have to go to Vienna!

Huge museum filled with artifacts from all Mexican and Maya history. Surrounded by nice parks. Very well taken care of. Entrance with fee.

Easily one of the greatest museums I have ever been to. Absolutely spectacular. So much of the indigenous culture is preserved here, it is a tremendous accomplishment. A must-see, with no reservations.

Cannot emphasize how great this place is. Lots to see so come with time. The best plan would be to checkout the lower level exhibitions, then have lunch and a break, and then visit the upper level exhibitions. Prepare to spend at least 5 hours here. Totally worth it! Its only $80 pesos per person. The gift shop is pretty cute too!

Just a beautiful, beautiful museum. The architecture was gorgeous and the flow of the rooms were wonderful. It was definitely not geared to foreigners so if you are interested in the history you should get a tour guide because almost everything is in Spanish.We mostly walked the first floor as the second floor was more modernistic and not what we were interested in. Furthermore after the halfway through the first floor it got har for us to keep interest as we didnt understand much of the museum.But what we did understand and see was gorgeous. Worth the 80 peso entrance fee.
