Interactive Museum of Economics

The Interactive Museum of Economics is an educational facility in Cuauhtémoc that conveys economic relationships through digital stations and participatory spaces. The exhibition areas are organized by theme and invite visitors to try out different modules.

The building served as a convent for the Betlemites from the 18th century before it was repurposed for museum use. The conversion into an economics museum took place in the early 21st century.

The institution uses examples from Mexican daily life to explain currency circulation and trade systems. Visitors can follow how local markets work and what role money plays in everyday routines.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday and offers opportunities to visit in the morning and afternoon. Guided tours in Spanish and English can be arranged for groups.

This institution is considered the first museum worldwide to focus entirely on teaching economic knowledge through interactive technology. Visitors can control economic processes themselves and experience them directly.
