Museo Nacional de las Culturas

The history

Always great things to see for all of the family and great workshops. Latest one I attended was for Chinese New Year and they had a bunch of music, dance, and Kung fu demonstrations— a workshop on origami (Yes I know, but it was fun), and some nice lectures on Feng Shui. It seemed like a party for the chinese community in CDMX as well. Other things I’ve done here include perform for our Indonesian gamelan. The staff here is very friendly and helpful and the building complex is just awesome!

Housed in a building that's architecturally quite interesting, and the collection itself is a good way to get a general overview of cultures around the world. My main beef with the place is that it's hard to tell which pieces are genuine and which are replicas, and all signs and explanations were in Spanish (fair enough, maybe I should learn). Entry is free on Sundays (otherwise Mx$14), so you can use the facilities if nothing else. Worth a walk around though, you'll definitely see something interesting, but don't expect Templo Mayor standards. NOT wheelchair or old-folk friendly though, there are a lot of stairs.

Very clean, the garden gives it a sence of serenity,

Very good place to learn a bit about foreign countries. Either with the permanent or temporary exhibitions.
