Museum of Constitutions

Where Mexico's legal history comes to life in a Baroque church

AREA

What Makes It Special?

Housed in a former Baroque temple, this museum provides a clear and visual account of Mexico’s constitutional history, from Independence to the present day. It is a space for reflection on democracy, rights, and citizenship.

Did You Know…?

It is housed in the former Church of San Pedro and San Pablo, one of the earliest churches built in New Spain, which was later converted into a civic building. This is where the first Constituent Congress of 1824 was held, and today it hosts exhibitions, debates, and archives.

Don’t Miss

Perfect for students and anyone interested in political history. The exhibits are interactive, visually engaging, and accessible. There are also activities for children, guided tours, and educational materials.
