MUSEO NACIONAL DE ANTROPLOGÍA

Av. P.º de la Reforma s/n, Polanco, Bosque de Chapultepec I Secc, Miguel Hidalgo, 11560

Perhaps the most renowned museum in Mexico City, it holds the world's largest collection of ancient Mexican artifacts. Some of the most iconic Mesoamerican artifacts discovered to date can be found here. If you want to understand Mexico's history, then a visit here is a must.

This massive building in Chapultepec Park is the most well-known museum in the city (second only to the Museo Frida Kahlo). Though it was designed in 1964 by late Mexican architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, the mammoth concrete building still looks as avant-garde today as it did then. The architecture is perhaps as impressive as the exhibits; some people come just to see the building.
