The National Museum of History is the venue that keeps the memory of the history of Mexico, from the conquest of Tenochtitlan, in 1521, to the Mexican Revolution, in the second decade of the 20th century. Its exhibition rooms show us a diversity of historical testimonies -such as paintings, flags, documents, weapons, furniture and clothing- that have managed to be preserved, and which are representative of four centuries of our country's history.
The museum is located in the Chapultepec Castle, a historic building of high symbolic value for Mexicans, whose construction began in 1785 during the government of the viceroy of New Spain, Bernardo de Gálvez. Originally, it was created as a rest house, however, over time, it was adapted to its different uses: it was a military college, imperial residence with Maximiliano and Carlota (1864-1867), presidential residence and, since 1939, it is the headquarters of the National Museum of History.
