The Mexican capital is famous for its museums, a popular attraction for residents and tourists alike. Here are five of the best you should check out on your next visit.
Museo Frida Kahlo
After her death, the house of legendary artist Frida Kahlo turned into a museum to her memory. It’s one of the most famous spots for tourists, with her work on display alongside other artifacts.
National History Museum
For history buffs, there is nowhere better than the National History Museum. Learn about Mexico’s relationship with the United States and its southern neighbors in a number of permanent exhibits, and check out the ever-changing roster of special exhibitions.
Museo Soumaya
This impressive contemporary museum is owned by billionaire Carlos Slim, and houses a huge collection of art by the European Old Masters. Worth a visit for the impressive architecture as well as its contents.
Museum of the Purpose of the Object
Stray away from the big name museums to visit this strange little space in the trendy Roma zone. The exhibitions change regularly so it’s worth checking whether there is anything of interest before you set off.
National Anthropology Museum
This huge museum contains thousands of artifacts from pre-Hispanic civilizations across Mexico. There are 23 exhibition halls stuffed with relics of Aztec, Olmec and other civilizations. It’s so big you could take a couple of days to see it all.
