ItineraryThis is a typical itinerary for this productStop At: Chapultepec Castle, Bosque de Chapultepec I Secc, Mexico City 11100 MexicoThe National Museum of History is the site that keeps the memory of the history of Mexico, from the conquest of Tenochtitlan to the Mexican Revolution. Its rooms show a diversity of representative objects from four centuries of Mexican history. The museum is located in the Chapultepec Castle, whose construction began in 1785 during the government of the viceroy of New Spain, Bernardo de Gálvez. Although it was created as a rest home, over time it was adapted to different uses: it was a military college, an imperial residence with Maximiliano and Carlota (1864-1867), a presidential residence and, since 1939, the headquarters of the National Museum of History.Duration: 1 hourPass By: Museo Nacional de Antropologia, Av.
