Designed by architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, this museum is a journey through the tapestry of cultures and history that make up Mexico. The 12 ground-floor halls are each dedicated to a different pre-Hispanic region or culture, while the upper-level showcases contemporary Mexican society. As you wander the rooms, you’ll enter gardens with full-scale replicas of tombs and the renowned Aztec sun stone that was discovered under the city in 1970. Anyone wishing to understand the dynamics of Mexico at all should pay a visit.
