National Museum of Anthropology Tickets

Most people spend between two and three hours in the Museo Nacional de Antropología. The place is pretty huge, so depending on the time you have, you might want to prioritize flashing your Museo Nacional de Antropología tickets quite early and concentrate on certain areas of the museum before the crowds arrive. This should maximize your enjoyment of the awesome collections inside.

If you have only limited time, don't miss the Teotihuacan, Aztecs and Maya rooms.

Yes! There's a great restaurant at Museo Nacional de Antropología called Sala Gastronómica. The freshly made toasted sandwiches and coffee of all kinds come highly recommended. Once you've used your National Museum of Anthropology tickets to explore the exhibits, don't miss out on a lovely lunch to round off your visit!

Everyone has a different favorite exhibit that makes their Museo Nacional de Antropología tickets seem like the best ever purchase, but there are several must-sees at what is arguably one of the most respected anthropology museums in the world.

Museo Nacional de Antropología is home to an Aztec Sun Stone (Piedra del Sol). This is a 25-ton intricately carved basalt slab that describes Aztec life, and it's thought to have been carved in the late 1400s. Another highlight is a partial reconstruction of the unfathomably huge Temple of Quetzalcoatl from Teotihuacán.

The best time to visit Museo Nacional de Antropología is during the week, when you're less likely to experience big crowds.

Free guided tours are offered Tuesday through Saturday at 10:30, 12:30, 13:30, 15:00 and 17:00. To ensure you don't get stuck with the weekend crowds, avoid using your tickets on a Sunday. This is the day that Mexican residents get free admission.

With tickets to Mexico City's Museo Nacional de Antropología, or the National Museum of Anthropology, you have an entirely new education ahead.
