National Museum of the Revolution

Modern Mexico was born here: living history from the very heart of the Monument

AREA

What Makes It Special?

Located at the base of the imposing Monument to the Revolution, this museum offers a deep dive into the events, figures, and social transformations that shaped 20th-century Mexico.

Did You Know…?

The building was originally designed to serve as Porfirio Díaz's Legislative Palace, but after the Revolution it was converted into a mausoleum and museum. The remains of Madero, Carranza, Villa, Calles, and Cárdenas rest here.

Don’t Miss

Don't miss the panoramic elevator that takes you to the monument's observation deck: the view is spectacular. You can also explore the underground crypts and see documents, weapons, photos, and period artifacts.
