Museo de las Constituciones

The Museo de las Constituciones is a history museum in downtown Mexico City dedicated to constitutional development. It displays original documents and artifacts through interactive exhibitions that show the different constitutions that shaped Mexico.

The building was constructed in 1572 as a temple and later hosted the drafting of Mexico's first constitution in 1824. After that period, the structure underwent several transformations before becoming a museum.

The museum displays how the understanding of civil rights and government power evolved across different periods. The exhibitions let visitors discover the various constitutional documents that shaped Mexico's path.

The museum is located in the historic downtown area and is easy to reach on foot when exploring the old city center. It is a good choice for an afternoon visit when you are already in the area.

The building was originally a Jesuit temple and later served as a government venue before becoming a museum. This multiple repurposing makes it a place where you can physically experience different phases of Mexico's history.
