Museo Nacional de Historia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Museo Nacional de Historia ('MNH, Museum of National History) is a national museum of Mexico, located in the first section of the Chapultepec Park inside the Chapultepec Castle, Mexico City.
It hosts twelve showrooms that house objects from various stages in Mexican history, including the foundation of the Spanish Empire (known in Mexico as “The Conquest”), the New Spain and the Viceregal era, the Mexican War of Independence, the Reform movement and the Revolution of 1910.
On the top floor, in addition to a library, there are two sections with dioramas recreating rooms of the castle during the time when Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico (von Habsburg) resided there with his wife Princess Charlotte of Belgium (also known as Empress Carlota of Mexico).
The museum also hosts a garden area and an old observatory. It is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 am to 5:00pm.
