Visiting this museum has been by far one of the best experiences in my visits to Mexico City downtown. The place is not just free but conveniently located 2 blocks from the main plaza (called Zocalo) and unlike other museums, this museum opens on Mondays. By the time I went there there was an exhibition called "bibliofilia mexicana" which enlightened me about Mexican intellectual production through history. It got me by surprise that there were serious intellectuals in Mexico in the past, with really complete and good productions, a fact that is not much highlighted about Mexico...I would also recommend to visit the terrace of the museum, where you can enjoy a great view of the surroundings. There is a coffee place on the terrace and also a small bookstore.
