The first thing I noticed about this museum was its size. It is huge in size and the quantity of its artifacts. I found it offered a tremendous view into the culture of Mexico. It was inviting, interesting, and informative. Unfortunately, my itinerary did not allow for more than an afternoon’s exploration of the museum, which was really an insufficient time for such a grand museum. However, I was determined to make the best of my time and dived right in without hesitation. Once inside, I found the museum to be an open courtyard with rooms on three sides that consisted of two levels. I really liked the design and feel that it contributed to my good experience. On the ground floor, I discovered rooms that depicted the history of Mexico. I saw an amazing Aztec stone calendar prominently displayed as well as a showcase of excellent dioramas of Mexico City’s past, with a myriad collection of ancient supporting artifacts. Upstairs, I found that the culture of contemporary Mexico depicted with village reproductions, music, dance, clothing, and crafts. I plan to return to this museum one day and really take the time that it deserves. It is one of the best museums I have had the pleasure to visit. Good Journeys!
