National Museum of Anthropology and History

The National Museum of Anthropology and History opened on September seventeen, 1964. It is located in the legendary Chapultepec Park.

At the entrance to the museum is a statue of Tlaloc, who is considered the rain god of the Aztecs.

The museum was designed by Mexican architect Pedro Ramirez Vazquez.

The building of the museum itself is made of smooth stone. Its facade is decorated with bas-reliefs.

It took nineteen months to build the museum. The area of the museum is about eighty thousand square meters. Half of this area is under the open sky.

The National Museum of Anthropology and History includes several halls and rooms. Each room is dedicated to a specific culture.

Interesting and the design of the museum. There is a small pond in front of the building. Near the pond is a large bronze snail. In the central courtyard of the museum there is an inverted fountain. Around his stone pillar falls water around.
