National Museum of World Cultures

A global journey from the heart of Mexico

AREA

What Makes It Special?

It is one of the few museums in Mexico dedicated exclusively to the cultures of the world. Its galleries take you from Egypt to Japan, from Africa to Europe… without ever leaving the Historic District.

Did You Know…?

This building was the former Mint of New Spain and still features original architectural elements. It served as the site of the first national museum before being converted into this multicultural space.

Don’t Miss

Each room features original pieces, unique settings, and surprising details. In addition, they often organize free activities such as talks, concerts, and country-themed series.
