About the company:
The Museum of Science and Industry, also known by its acronym MUMCI, is dedicated to the history of technological progress in Mexico. In addition to the permanent exhibition, there are cafes, lecture halls and a cinema in the halls of the museum.
The museum was inaugurated in Toluca in 2009. One of the initiators of its creation was the President of the Republic Felipe Calderon. The museum building is a bizarre mix of classical colonial architecture and modern style. Part of the exposition is located in the historical building of the ancient brewery of the XIX century, above which the glass case of the new building rises.
The exhibits of the museum are divided into thematic sections devoted to brewing, glass making, printing, paper spinning, mechanics. The museum regularly hosts lectures on the history of production in Mexico.
