Mexico City unveils a new cultural and scientific space. The MUNET in Mexico City (National Museum of Energy and Technology) officially opened its doors in February 2026 in the Second Section of Chapultepec Forest.
This is a new museum, conceived as a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to explaining how energy is produced, distributed, and used in Mexico and around the world.
The project was promoted by the Federal Electricity Commission and seeks to become a national benchmark in scientific and technological dissemination.
The architectural design was developed by architect Enrique Norten in collaboration with Ralph Appelbaum’s museum design firm, with a focus on creating a contemporary, dynamic, and fully interactive space.
10 rooms to understand the future of energy
The tour is divided into 10 themed rooms that explain the different types of energy in a clear and educational way.
Here you can learn about nuclear energy, fossil fuels, electricity, and basic concepts, as well as renewable energies such as solar, wind, hydraulic, geothermal, and bioenergy. There is also a space dedicated to sustainability and responsible energy development.
The aim is to foster interest in science, awaken vocations in young people, and showcase the country’s energy capacity, as well as the human talent that makes it possible.
The experience combines technology, accessible information, and reflection on the environmental impact of energy consumption.
