You can now visit the Amazonia exhibition at the National Museum of Anthropology! The exhibition is composed of 230 photographs that the artist Sebastião Salgado took over seven years and 58 expeditions to the Amazon rainforest. Admission is free.
The exhibition opened its doors last Friday , February 7 and you can visit it until May 4, 2025. Through each photograph on display you will learn a little more about the Amazon rainforest, its biodiversity and its inhabitants. You will even see the mountains of the region, which are little known due to how difficult it is to access them.
All about the Amazonia exhibition! Admission is free
According to a press release from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), Salgado made 58 expeditions by water, land and air in this jungle.
During these journeys he captured the ecosystem and delved into the daily life of the native communities that live in the area and have little contact with the outside world. You should know that while you walk through this photographic exhibition you will hear different sounds of the jungle, which will make you feel like you are there.
The best thing is that it has a space called Amazonia Touch, where you will find 22 tactile photos for people with visual disabilities.
You can visit this free exhibition from Tuesday to Sunday at the National Museum of Anthropology (Paseo de la Reforma Avenue S / N, first section of Chapultepec Forest). The museum is open from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.
