Overview

The National Museum of Anthropology (MNA) is one of the most important museums in Mexico and the Americas. It is designed to house and exhibit the archaeological legacy of the peoples of Mesoamerica, as well as to account for the current ethnic diversity of the country. The current MNA building was built between 1963 and 1964 in the Chapultepec Forest at the instruction of President Adolfo López Mateos, designed by Pedro Ramírez Vázquez and assisted by architects Rafael Mijares and Jorge Campuzano. President Adolfo López Mateos inaugurated it on September 17, 1964. Currently, the NAMA building has 22 permanent exhibition halls, two temporary exhibition halls and three auditoriums. Inside is the National Library of Anthropology and History.
