This new cultural venue consists of two areas distributed across a 300-square-meter space. The historic building—formerly the entrance to the old Chapultepec Military College—has been fully restored to function as a dual space housing both a Site Museum and a Visitor Center. The goal is to ensure that the more than 19 million people who visit the forest each year have access to its historical memory and its biological and cultural richness.

The Site Museum presents the history of Chapultepec through museography (executed by the firms Siete Colores and Ideas Creativas) that highlights four major moments in the life of the place.

Pre-Hispanic Chapultepec

Colonial Chapultepec

19th-Century Chapultepec

20th-Century Chapultepec

The Visitor Center includes tools designed to understand the interests of visitors, allowing the provision of useful alternatives to better plan a visit to Chapultepec based on personal preferences, interests, and time availability. It also serves to communicate recent events in the forest, including daily activities as well as ongoing efforts for its protection and preservation.

At this venue, you can find products related to the forest and take them home while contributing to the conservation work carried out every year across the three sections of the forest. Our current challenges include moving forward with the Av. Lomas sports park project and restoring the Quijote Fountain in the First Section. Help us make it happen!
