The Mexican History Museum is a modern museum in Monterrey, the capital of the state of Nuevo Leรณn in northern Mexico. It sits in the Centro district of the city, at Dr. Josรฉ Ma. Coss 445, which makes it a convenient stop for anyone spending time in the historic heart of Monterrey.
What you will find
The museum houses artifacts of regional significance, presented in a contemporary setting. Its collection focuses on the history of Mexico, with particular attention to the part the region of Nuevo Leรณn has played in it. Alongside the permanent displays, the museum also hosts temporary exhibits, so the programme can change from one visit to the next.
- Permanent displays of regionally significant artifacts
- Temporary exhibits that rotate through the year
- A gift shop for books and souvenirs to take home
Planning your visit
The museum suits visitors who enjoy history and want to understand the region they are travelling through, as well as those who simply have an afternoon free in the city. Because it is in Centro, you can combine it with a walk through the surrounding streets and the other sights of the district. Check the current opening times and temporary exhibitions before you go, as these are not covered here.
Visitors who come to Monterrey for its mix of history and modern city life will find the museum a straightforward and worthwhile addition to their plans.
