Museo Tecnológico de la Comisión Federal de Electricidad

The Museo Tecnológico de la Comisión Federal de Electricidad is a museum in Chapultepec Park focused on electricity and energy technology. The spaces contain working models, machinery, and explanatory materials that show how power is generated, transmitted, and used.

The museum was founded in 1970 and was one of the first science centers in Latin America focused on electrical engineering. Its creation reflected Mexico's growing interest in making technical knowledge accessible to a broad public.

The museum shows how electricity transformed everyday life in Mexico and makes this role tangible for visitors. The exhibits connect technical content with practical examples from people's daily routines.

The museum is in the second section of the park and is accessible on foot, with enough space for groups and school classes. Visitors should plan enough time to fully explore the different exhibition areas and demonstrations.

The museum housed one of the earliest robots that interacted with visitors and performed demonstrations. This machine was a rarity for Latin America and made the museum a place where visitors could experience robotics in action.
