Palacio de la Autonomía, History museum in Centro district, Mexico City, Mexico
The Palace of Autonomy stands at the corner of Licenciado de Verdad and Guatemala streets, featuring a white stone facade with triangular pediment decorations.
Built during President Porfirio Diaz administration, this structure gained prominence in 1929 when the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México obtained independence from government control.
The museum contains exhibitions about Mexican dentistry, archaeological findings, and houses the university radio station UNAM-FM within its historical walls.
Visitors can explore the museum daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with spaces available for events accommodating between 30 and 350 people.
The building foundation rests upon an ancient wall that once enclosed the sacred plaza of Templo Mayor, connecting modern education with pre-Hispanic heritage.
