Guided Visit of the National Anthropological Museum

The tour meets at the main entrance to the Anthropological Museum, to begin the Origins of Mesoamerican Culture guided tour.

Mexico City's National Anthropological Museum is the most important museum in Latin America, with over two million annual visitors. It houses the biggest collection of prehispanic art in the world.

The duration is 2.5 hours, during which we will explore the footsteps of prehispanic societies and learn about the latest archaeological excavations and ethnographic studies. You'll see an impressive collection of daily objects from Mexico's first inhabitants as well as symbolic elements from their cultural and religious ceremonies.

Highlights include the famous 'Sun Stone', known as the Aztec Calendar, and reconstructions of tombs and temples from the ancient Aztec and Mayan civilizations, alongside remains from the Zapotec, Toltec, Teotihuacan, and Mexica cultures.

After the tour, you will have free time to explore the museum at your own pace.
