    Must-visit for connoisseurs of art, history and culture! I spent around 3 hours at the museum and there were still many nuances that I missed! Entry for adults is 40pesos, and there is discounted rate for students. The ticket grants access to all three museums in the complex: Mexican history museum, museum of northeast(mexico) and the palace museum. Tuesdays and Sundays are free entry days! Very well-curated museum with interactive components, diorama, etc. My only barrier in some exhibits was the lack of bilingual (English and Spanish) information placards. The exhibit with ivory work is exquisite, and the entire top floor of the museum transports the viewer to various parts of Mexico.

    Lovely museum! It was amazing to learn deeper into my roots and see how Mexico came to be how it is todays. I would go again. Only 40 pesos to get in and it includes the museum next door. We did the boat ride ride after the museum it was perfect

    I went on a Tuesday afternoon, as it is free on Tuesdays. The museum was great, the permanent exhibits walk you through Mexico in chronological order. There are pottery, paintings, models(maquetas), textiles, and interactive exhibits. You can go in the train and watch a video.

    (Translated by Google) An air-conditioned, clean place and with the help of the cell phone when scanning a code it narrates everything in the museum making you part of the history, there are few things to expose but the little very interesting (Original) Un lugar climatizado, limpio y con la ayuda del celular al scanear un código te va narrando cada cosa que hay en el museo haciendote parte de la historia, hay pocas cosas para exponer pero lo poco muy interesante

    I was all excited about this museum when I moved here almost 2 years ago. It's definitely a must if you are in the area and love museums. From an archeologist point of view: They keep it clean and neat. Some pieces have translation, and we can see some parts of pre-hispanic times. Most of it has colonialism and some industrial pieces. Tuesdays and Sundays are free admission (we love that). Includes main museum, museum of North region and the main government building. I don't like the amount of wasted space they have. Some sections that are new don't have the marketing besides the sign next to the museum. There's a whole bridge where there could be a great potential for "copies" of other pieces from other museums in Mexico. As I mention a lot of waste of space. They should have more clases or better ways to attract the youth to our history and more. There are a few ways to work/volunteer here. Either way, it is too hard, which it shouldn't.

    (Translated by Google) Heated area, very clean and the exhibitions are few but it is an excellent place for tourists and children, you learn a lot about the Monterrey culture and the traditions of the north, they have the restaurant area that is very nice and very rich, I recommend the area free for a more pleasant view of the Santa Lucia walk. I hope they can open soon after the contingency. (Original) Área climatizada, muy limpio y las exposiciones son pocas pero es un lugar excelente para turistas y niños,aprendes mucho de la cultura regiomontana y de las tradiciones del norte, tienen el área de restaurante que está muy lindo y muy rico,les recomiendo el área libre para una vista más agradable hacía el paseo Santa Lucia. Espero puedan abrir pronto después de la contingencia.

    Top 05 of Monterrey. Take your time to visit the museum and understand how Mexico's was created. Well organized. On Wednesday snd Sunday, tickets are free (on Sunday will be for short time). Museo cafe is a good option to eat/drink.

    (Translated by Google) I loved the museum when I visit it, they had an exhibition of the Mexican revolution and I learned a lot. I liked seeing everything very well exposed and understandable for the visitor but with more in-depth explanations if you wanted to continue reading on the subject. (Original) Me encantó el museo cuando lo visite, tenían una exposición de la revolución mexicana y aprendí mucho. Me gustó ver todo muy bien expuesto y entendible para el visitante pero con explicaciones más profundas si querías seguir leyendo del tema.

  • 4/5 Maggie Y. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to learn about the Mexican history from it's Native Aztecs, the Conquistadors to current contributions and traditions. Only down is that they do not have translated information or audio.

  • 5/5 Shankar M. 11 months ago on Google
    A truly impressive modern museum about Mexican history. We went there on Sunday and happened to be free of admission, inexpensive $20 pesos on regular days.

  • 5/5 russell p. 10 months ago on Google
    Fantastic museum. It’s full of history and have fantastic displays. It’s very clean. You can spend hours in there if you love history, it was just awesome.

  • 5/5 Johntony 10 months ago on Google
    Much better than I expected. Not big but well-curated. The pre-Hispanic room has some impressive pieces but the models of major pyramid sites in Mexico placed side by side is even better. And the Gallery of Castes (18th century categorization of ethnicity and race) is mind-blowing. Interesting temporary exhibits as well.

  • 5/5 Maria F. 9 months ago on Google
    I loved this musem!! Lots of information and lovely displays!! It's great if you have children in basic and middle school, there's lots of info they can reaffirm from school!! Few interactive displays, lots of security guards, some guides that can explain with detail (and funny anecdotes) the displays and history!! The museum was extra nice, very clean and well kept, even the bathrooms. We visited on a Tuesday which turns out entrance is free!! Also on sundays, but on Tuesdays there is very few people, even on summer break, at least that was the day we visited and it was what we were looking for. The AC was heavenly because outside was an scorching 108°F or 42°C, not a cloud in sight and because the huge park outside doesn't have a lot of vegetation, everything gets really hot and the floor is like a frying pan radiating heat!!! The person at the reception or ticketing spot was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful!! Conected by a bridge is the Museo del Noreste, very easy to access, I loved the different "chamber like" feeling of it but there was more written displays than artifacts so if you have young children it might get a little tedious. We spent about two hours on these museums. I don't know if they have parking but there is a lot of parking garages around that go for $15 to $25 MXP pesos per hour ($0.75 cents to $1.25 USD per hour).

    (Translated by Google) The museum of history of Mexico very good.

Very rude his treatment being me a tourist and no kindness (Original) El museo de historia de mexico muy bueno. El de historia del noreste fatal, empezando desde el personal que no te deja ver la exposición sin estar encima de ti, aun cuando eres la única persona en todo el museo.

    (Translated by Google) On some other occasions I have visited the museum, at the bottom it changes two or three times a year, what is exhibited there. They also have a theater, we go, once a month, on Sundays to listen and see a group of singers, like different people singing amazing songs to date, or in homage to someone in particular, the top part of our past as a nation. , very important historical data, outside is where the Santa Lucia festivities take place. Very important to visit this museum. (Original) En algunas otras ocasiones e visitado el museo, en la parte de abajo cambia dos o tres veces al año, lo que allí exponen. También tienen un teatro nosotros acudimos, una vez al mes, los domingos a escuchar y ver a un grupo de cantantes, como quinse diferentes cantando canciones alucivas a la fecha, o en homenaje a alguien en especial, la parte de arriba nuestro pasado como nación, datos históricos muy importantes, en la parte de afuera es dónde se realizan las fiestas de santa Lucía. Muy importante visitar esté museo.

  • 5/5 Milly Serrano F. 5 years ago on Google
    This is a really nice, interactive museum, and you actually get all three museums for the same price. 40 pesos for all three museums. I recommend going with plenty of time to enjoy them fully. There's a nice show inside an old locomotive car every half hour and plenty of dioramas and audio visual aids to make it interesting for kids

  • 5/5 Irazú V. 5 years ago on Google
    After visiting it, it becomes one of my favorite museums. It has so many stuff to show you the history of Mexico in a really fun way. So you can learn a lot in just one place. Something I really loved was the showcases where you can see different objects from the Mexico's independence or revolutionary war. It has different hall with different stuff you can appreciate. It has a real train, a big map of Mexico where you can walk, a hall where you can feel on the woods for his really big trees......
