National Museum of Anthropology Tour: Death in Ancient Mexico

This tour is offered as a special event during this important time of year in Mexico, when we celebrate and remember our loved ones who have entered Mictlán.

The tour features a selection of artifacts from the Museum of Anthropology that shed light on death in pre-Hispanic Mexico and the gods who accompanied the dead on their journey to the afterlife. The tour guide is a historian specializing in ancient Mexico, a graduate of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the country’s most prestigious university.

The tour is offered for cultural and spiritual enrichment for anyone who wishes to broaden their understanding of the concept of death and how the ancient peoples of Mexico viewed it.

Admission to the Museum of Anthropology is 210 Mexican pesos for foreign visitors and 105 pesos for Mexican visitors. Tickets can be purchased before the tour begins at the ticket office or online for the day of the visit.
