Mexico City Metro Museum, Transportation museum in Insurgentes Mixcoac, Mexico

The Mexico City Metro Museum occupies seven halls at Mixcoac station on Line 12, four permanent and three temporary. Its permanent rooms hold unpublished plans of Lines 1 and 2, photographs and objects from the construction and early years, archaeological pieces found during the metro's building, and a collection of art.

The museum opened in 2016, not 2017, at Mixcoac station on Line 12. It was created by Cultura Metro to document the metro system, whose first line opened in 1969; planning and museography were directed by Vannesa Bohórquez López, and construction took one year. Its permanent rooms cover the planning, construction and inauguration of the STC Metro from 1967 onward.

The museum's name comes from Cultura Metro, the unit that runs it, and its halls trace the metro's iconography: Hall 6 covers Lance Wyman's design process for the station logos, typography and signage that now mark the city's identity. Hall 7 shows tickets and access cards from 1969 onward. Free workshops, concerts, theatre and dance take place here, and on the last Wednesday of each month the museum joins the Noche de Museos circuit with extended hours.

The museum is open from Tuesday through Sunday, allowing plenty of time to explore the exhibitions at your own pace. On special event days like Museum Night, the museum extends its hours to accommodate more visitors.

The sixth hall displays Lance Wyman's original designs for the metro's visual identity system, including the distinctive station logos. These design elements remain visible throughout the city and continue to shape how people navigate the system today.
