Mexico City is one of those places that never sleeps and always has a plan for the day, the night or the weekend. It does not matter what part of the city you are in, there is always a restaurant to try, streets to walk or museums and galleries to visit; and each of these sites transmits, in some way, the unique essence of the Mexican capital.
Thanks to the fact that Mexico City is one of the three cities with the most museums on the planet, it has a wide variety of museums since 1790. Therefore, all the museums in this megalopolis offer venues for all tastes, interests and personalities of its inhabitants or visitors. In fact, the museum diversity of the capital challenges the traditional notion of a boring or old museum, with silent corridors and rigid conduct manuals; since, there are currently venues dedicated to the interaction between knowledge, sensations and fun.
According to SECTUR, the first museum in Mexico was founded in 1790, and it was a space dedicated to the most outstanding biodiversity of the New Spain. Eventually, in 1825, the first Mexican National Museum emerged, where documents from ancient Mexico, archaeological pieces and works that were under the responsibility of the Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico were exhibited; and in fact, given that the museum's collection began to expand almost disproportionately, it was decided to divide the enclosure in two, resulting in the Museum of Natural History and the National Museum of Anthropology, History and Ethnography.
According to figures from the government of Mexico City, the capital has 167 museums, if you want to know each and every one visit:
