Schedule at least 4 hours to saunter through this extremely well organized, chronologically layed out museum. The items and displays are extremely high quality. If you need a break their is plaza to rest up in which all of the periods of Mexican Art history are accessible. So you can easily do a master sweep or hop around to the periods that are ...

incredibly important

These exhibits will blow you away. If you think Mexico is only beaches, poverty and illiteracy, wake up to the heritage of this country. When your ( or at least my) ancestors were cowering without heat, this civilization was mapping the stars and planets. Be prepared to spend an afternoon here if you read the plaques and look at it all. Several ...

fun for the whole family

the place was very clean and educational. my kids really liked it because they could learn a lot. the only thing that didn't work for me was that i was confused where to go because there weren't that many guides to show you around.
What an experience !! The museum building itself worth the fare (less than US$5). But inside you'll find amazing pieces of native american history, ranging from places like Arizona and New Mexico to Guatemala. It is the best historic museum I have ever visit.
Be sure to allow enough time to visit it, We spent 6 hours, and enjoyed every minute.
It was the first time in my life that, after 6 hours, I had to say "stop" and come back the next day. The first time in my life a museum took me actually two days to visit.

boring
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/29/07
the collections were really boring after a while. it seemed like i kept seeing tje same thing......ENJOYYYYY ALL THE NICE SITESSSSSS. HAVE FUN
This museum is top-notch everywhere you look. This is must see. Even the "cool" people (who would rather not go to a museum) in your group will be impressed. The only disappointment is that all signs describing all exibits are spanish only. To get the most of the museum, study first, or bring a Mexican friend if possible.

Superb, worldclass museum
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/24/06
Unusually comprehensive and well-done archaeological museum. Too much to see it all in a few hours, but well worth a visit. Sundays are free access.
ITS FREE on Sundays!!! It takes around six hours to see everything. Therefore, you need to really think what you want to really see. Theres lots and very little time so think....
