All about the toy exhibit at the National Museum of World Cultures
According to a press release from INAH (National Institute of Anthropology and History), more than generating nostalgia, this exhibition seeks to generate a dialogue showing everything that each of the toys represents.
In addition, through the toys you will learn more about the communities where they are made and used. It will be like a window to other cultures around the world. The exhibition Around the World in 150 Toys will be inaugurated this Thursday, April 3 at 1:00 pm. It will be open for a limited time; however, the end date has not yet been announced.
It is worth mentioning that this museum in the Historic Center has free admission. It is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00 hours. It is very close to the Zócalo.
