Museo del Noreste

Dimly lit and very little in English. NOT for tourists! Also, what's with the weird reunification narrative on the top floor? You get the sense that they would like to take back Texas and make a separate country without the south ..

Informative, dispassionate historiography. Focused on northeast but plenty of panels explaining each period of Mexican history, from nomadic Indians to colonial to revolutionary. This was a tremendous museum filled with useful political & military history. A must visit when in Monterrey. Muchas gracias!

Loved it! Not expensive and worth it!

Two dollars gets you into all 3 of their museums. Cute cafe. Cute little boat. Very picturesque area that connects all of museums. Beautiful paintings and artifacts. I would consider coming back to Monterrey only for another chance to visit this place. Saw so many cool ancient artifacts. I loved these museums. Gorgeous. You could spend all day here.

The museum has an excellent permanent exhibition about the origin of Mexican culture.

This museum presents the common history of the states of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon & Texas, seen as a group: "The Northeast". It also presents a couple of temporary exhibits a year and with the same ticket you can enter the Mexican History Museum. You can spend as little time as 30 minutes here or as long as 3 hours. Tuesdays and Sundays the entrance is free.

Badly laid out, doubt anyone learns much there. Read the relevant Wikipedia articles. Free on Tuesday and Sunday and not many people there.

Saw the Maria Felix exhibit which was comprehensive and well done.
