Museums and Markets
Mexico City's museums are, in large part, what accounts for its designation as Cultural Capital of the Americas. There is an ongoing discussion about the visual life of the city, the ancient past and more recent history. There is also an important role for the Museum where there is an attempt to preserve and represent almost everything. In fact, as the history of Mexico City is written, even today, you will be part of that history.
Mexico City today is second only to London in the sheer number of museums it can boast:
* Anthropology Museum
* Frida Kahlo Museum
* Museum of Memory and Tolerance
* Diego Rivera Museum
* Wax Museum
* Museum of the Interventions
* San Fernando Pantheon Museum
* Chapultepec Castle Museum
* Anahuacalli Museum
* Palacio de Bellas Artes Museum
Mexico City is one of the largest cities in the world, so you can expect to find quite a few MARKETS that offer different experiences and at the same time make you feel like a local
resident.
Many of the local markets offer fresh food and produce, although you will find a variety of different items in general.
When you shop at a local market, you'll find yourself among local vendors who represent the work of farmers and artisans intimately connected to the community. Check out the top 10 markets in Mexico City you'll want to visit.
