This is such a rich and beautiful building full of very interesting pieces. A lovely biology student gave us a free tour. I highly recommend taking the tour, otherwise you’ll miss many of the wonders hidden.

Palacio De La Medicina

Reviewed By packedandready2go

This museum displays the history of medicine in Mexico beginning with indigenous people hundreds of years before westerners arrived. The exhibits are well laid out with displays of various herbal plants and their uses, the evolution of the microscope, several old doctors’ offices, etc. The building is also very attractive though it was previously the headquarters of the Inquisition in Mexico. Note that the exhibit explanations are almost all in spanish so this museum is probably not worth visiting unless one can read the local language.
