Highly recommend a tour guide for this museum.
A most amazing museum, both architecturally and culturally. I highly recommend a tour guide for first time visitors, as the exhibitions often need some interpretation and occasionally lack English translations. We used Lic. Alma Garcia, who sometimes waits near the entrance to the museum, and she was amazing during a two-hour tour for $35. I highly recommend her. She can be reached at +55.1332.4321, or [email protected].

Don't visit Mexico City without stopping here
When possible, it's always a good idea to go to a country's national museum, and this place has a perfect 5-star rating on here for a reason. They take you by the hand and present their history clearly, linearly, and most importantly, interestingly. Give yourself half a day here, and even better, hire a guide (they can be found out front for about 800 pesos, or roughly $44 USD. The big showstopper, of course, is the Aztec calendar... which we found out is not a calendar at all, but was more than likely a sacrificial altar. WAY more interesting than a calendar, if you ask me. In short, go. It's on par with the Smithsonian or the Louvre.
