Mexico City Museum

A house that holds the history of the entire city

AREA

What Makes It Special?

It is housed in a former viceregal palace that seems frozen in time. It is one of the few museums dedicated to telling the story of Mexico City… from the inside.

Did You Know…?

This building was once the residence of the Counts of Santiago de Calimaya and is over 250 years old. It still features the original fountain, thick walls, and even a small chapel.

Don’t Miss

Check the schedule before you go: the temporary exhibitions are usually contemporary, artistic, or socially themed, and change frequently. Sometimes there are concerts or performances in the courtyard.
