A pretty cool museum with a collection of the world's cultures. I was hoping to see more of Mexico's history but CDMX is a global city and it's own people are probably curious about other cultures. It was also free so definitely worth a visit.

I don't understand how this museum gets a 4.7. The vast majority if not *entirety* of what's on the ground floor and first floor are replicas, in what would be a good tour of world cultures for school children, but of zero interest whatsoever for anyone that has ever, in their entire life, been outside of Mexico to any of the cultures shown. Everything is *fine* but it's all replicas, also only in Spanish. There are a few temporary exhibits throughout (including all of the top floor) which were better as they had real objects, but even there they were mostly "okay" in terms of curation. If you are a Mexican schoolchild on a trip: great museum to introduce you to global cultures. If you are a tourist from outside Mexico: skip.

A hidden gem in the middle of Moneda street, an old building converted into a museum. A wide range of exhibitions of all the different cultures around the world. It's free on Sunday, but also means it's crowded as well.

Really excellent free museum. Currently with exhibitions from Japan, Korea, China, Iran and Egypt. There's also an interesting display about border walls and perspectives from both sides.

A very cool museum that I found out about at the last minute It has several pieces from many different countries and cultures. It's actually great and was surprised how empty I was when I went. Hopefully, it was an odd day because it deserves to be recognized

Free culture museum in the national palace complex! The exhibits are fairly well done, and walking through the massive complex that houses them is worth a quick stop. However, I couldn’t give a full 5 stars because almost everything in the ancient world exhibits are reconstructions. That makes sense because the originals are too valuable to leave their permanent home for Mexico City, but it does take away from the impression.

(Translated by Google) The exhibition halls are beautiful and spacious structures in which each piece can be appreciated without mishaps, with wide ceilings and a warm and minimalist atmosphere to spend an incredible time of culture. (Original) Las salas de exposición son estructuras hermosas y amplias en las que se puede apreciar cada pieza sin contratiempos, con techos amplios y un ambiente cálido y minimalista para pasar un increíble rato de cultura

A nice museum if you want to see other cultures. Huge display of Asian ( Korean, Japanese and Chinese ), Middle Eastern ( Egyptian and Iranian) cultures.

Free admission & some nice exhibitions about the old Mediterranean cultures, far east & changing temporary exhibits. Here are a few impressions:

(Translated by Google) no, I haven't gone, but I'm thinking of doing it (Original) no pues no he ido pero estoy pensando hacerlo

A hodgepodge of artifacts covering international art exhibitions and natural history. All presented with Spanish information. It’s all free; the building itself is a beautiful example of old city colonial architecture.

(Translated by Google) Inaugurated as a National Museum in 1865 by Maximilian of Habsburg in the Old Mint, the current National Museum of Cultures offers a chronological and material tour of ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, etc. The old building that housed the Sala de Monolitos is a highly recommended place to visit in the Historic Center of CDMX. (Original) Inaugurado como Museo Nacional en 1865 por Maximiliano de Habsburgo en la Antigua Casa de Moneda, el actual Museo Nacional de las Culturas ofrece un recorrido cronológico y material por la antigua Mesopotamia, Egipto, Grecia, etc. El antiguo edificio que albergó la Sala de Monolitos es un lugar muy recomendable de visitar en el Centro Histórico de la CDMX.

Interesting exhibition on cultures around the world in a beautiful building.

(Translated by Google) It's a lot of learning, I like it (Original) Es de mucho aprendizaje , me gusta

It is a great place to see, but the only problem I had was that there are duplicates and if you are looking for original artifacts you cannot find any special thing in here. But still a great place if somebody wants to have a “general” knowledge of history and human civilization.

Located in centro Histórico and not far from Palacio de Bellas Artes. Great paintings and well organized during covid. I recommend visiting it to get an insight into the Mexican artistic scene.

Free! This place is huge and shows a lot of artifacts from different countries. They hold your bag for you. Many exhibits, and multiple floors. When I visited they also had a Canada exhibit about snow. There are exhibits in Egypt, China, Mesopotamia, etc. highly recommend!

Museum worth a visit when in Mexico City.

Beautiful place to go...love it :)

I think that the museum is nice but today stayed one side. Very few cultures

I'm not one to be in museums much. But it was good and they had exposition about countries around the world.

The building is really nice but most of the foreign exhibits were extremly disappointing, practically any of the art and objects is original, all fakes! What's the point then!

Great museum to visit, very well kept with wonderful people helping.

Nice place to visit for historical lovers.

Magnificent art from the dawn of time and all continents.

Nice place for the culture. If you have a time and you like a museums you have to check it! 🙂 Have a nice trip.

Didn't have a chance to finish, but what I did see was pretty good. Also it's free, which is really hard to beat. Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Persian, Ethiopian, and more.

Great free stop. Good collection of pieces. Pretty building.

Interesting museum on Cultures of the world. The entrance is in the side street.

Among the best museums visited, globally. Exhibits showcasing different cultures from around the world, and through different time periods, all in the same building. Being able to see all of this, especially for free , makes this an unmatched museum experience.

El Cino is a good place for tacos de carne asada, adobada, carnitas, etc. The place is very nice, with good parking, well located over Palm avenue near I-5. I have been there twice, and both experiences were good. The waiting time for your food is acceptable, but this place is not a fast food restaurant. The waiting is worth it. The prices are Ok, and the food is good.

Somewhere in between Japan and Korea I totally missed China, and North America including the indigenous first people (perhaps it isn't supposed to be comprehensive)- but what I did see was good, though it did include glorified K-pop.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place! To learn and live with the family !! (Original) Un hermoso lugar! Para aprender y convivir con la familia!!

Here you can know about many cultures in Mexico and even Asia and other different cultures around the world, is so many things to learn and see, recommend!

History of Mexico can be found in there thru large drawings in the wall. Great experience.

Housed in a building that's architecturally quite interesting, and the collection itself is a good way to get a general overview of cultures around the world. My main beef with the place is that it's hard to tell which pieces are genuine and which are replicas, and all signs and explanations were in Spanish (fair enough, maybe I should learn). Entry is free on Sundays (otherwise Mx$14), so you can use the facilities if nothing else. Worth a walk around though, you'll definitely see something interesting, but don't expect Templo Mayor standards. NOT wheelchair or old-folk friendly though, there are a lot of stairs.

(Translated by Google) It is a delight to visit this place, it is one of the most beautiful museums that I have seen, they have rooms with art exhibition from almost all over the world, very pleasant the site, permanent exhibitions and rooms with exhibition for short periods, the subject as its name says it ranges from the Egyptians to Rome and Greece highly recommended to visit. (Original) Es un deleite visitar este lugar es uno de los museos más hermosos que e visto tienen salas con excibicion de arte de casi todo el mundo muy agradable el sitio, exposiciones permanente y salas con excibicion por periodos cortos el tema como su nombre lo dice abarca desde los egipcios hasta Roma y Grecia muy recomendable visitarlo.

(Translated by Google) It is a very beautiful museum, it is my favorite because you can see things about other cultures, they include Asian cultures a lot and I think it is important since they always tell us about the United States and Europe, you can see many good things here and there are always constantly updating the exhibitions, I have been more than 3 times and whenever I go there is a different exhibition, that was one of my favorite exhibitions, yes, sometimes some exhibitions I think deserve to stay longer, but they always give at least half a year to each temporary exhibition (Original) Es un museo muy bonito, es mi favorito porque puedes ver cosas acerca de otras culturas, incluyen mucho a las culturas asiáticas y creo que es importante ya que siempre nos hablan de Estados unidos y Europa, puedes ver muchas cosas buenas aquí y siempre se están actualizando constantemente las exhibiciones, he ido más de 3 veces y siempre que voy hay alguna exhibición diferente, esa fue una de mis exhibiciones favoritas, eso sí, a veces algunas exhibiciones creo que merecen quedarse más tiempo, pero igual siempre dan al menos medio año a cada exhibición temporal

(Translated by Google) A big place (Original) Un gran lugar

(Translated by Google) Next to the National Palace, this museum is a very good option to start bringing children to more "serious" museums. It has many pieces on display from several important cultures, such as Greek, Egyptian, Japanese, Korean, etc. The "but" that I find is that it is only reproductions (except for very few exceptions) and that decreases the quality of the pieces and, therefore, the experience. Still, they are very enjoyable. I loved the information provided for each piece and they even mention in which museum of the world the originals are. The museum is very small and in just over an hour you can travel almost everything. It has several rooms that cover more varied and current themes (homage to death in several countries, temporary artistic exhibitions, workshops, etc.) My daughters liked it a lot and we plan to return for some activity. (Original) A un costado de Palacio Nacional, este museo es una muy buena opción para comenzar a acercar a los niños a museos más "serios". Tiene muchas piezas en exposición de varias culturas importantes, como la griega, egipcia, japonesa, coreana, etc. El "pero" que le encuentro es que se trata sólo de reproducciones (salvo pequeñísimas excepciones) y eso disminuye la calidad de las piezas y, por lo tanto, la experiencia. Aún así, son muy disfrutables. Me encantó la información proporcionada para cada pieza y que incluso te mencionan en qué museo del mundo se encuentran las originales. El museo es muy pequeño y en poco más de una hora se puede recorrer casi todo. Tiene varias salas que abarcan temas más variados y actuales (homenaje a la muerte en varios países, exposiciones artísticas temporales, talleres, etc.) A mis hijas les gustó mucho y pensamos volver para alguna actividad.

(Translated by Google) I put a 3 since I did not have the opportunity to see it inside due to covid that is understandable But they did not update in Google maps that it was closed I hope to return and visit them again. (Original) Le pongo un 3 ya que no tuve la oportunidad de verlo por dentro debido al covid que es comprensible Pero no actualizaron en Google maps que estaba cerrado espero volver y pasar a visitarlos de nuevo.

(Translated by Google) If you are in the center, and you are near this place, take a walk since it is not very big but the exhibition is good. It is a large house that has several connected rooms and it is very enjoyable, in my case I was seeing commemorative sculptures of skulls, something very typical here in Mexico. It is worth taking a stroll. (Original) Si estás por el centro, y estás cerca de este lugar, date una vuelta dado que no es muy grande pero la exposición es buena. Es una casona que tiene varios salones conectados y se disfruta mucho, en mi caso estuve viendo esculturas conmemorativas a las calaveras, algo muy típico aquí en México. Merece la pena darse una vueltita.
