Museo Tecnológico de la Comisión Federal de Electricidad, Technology museum in Chapultepec, Mexico City, Mexico.
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 closed permanently in September 2015, so there are no visiting hours or exhibitions to plan around. Its former site lies in the second section of Chapultepec Park in Mexico City, reachable on foot through the park. The building was to be replaced by the Museo Nacional de Energía y Tecnología (MUNET), but no opening date was set and work had not advanced.
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.
