Museo Nacional de Antropologia

Forth and Final day with the in-law in Chapultepec park!
Chapultepec is a 1,655 hectare park here in Mexico City. It's huge and hosts several lakes, a large zoo, the largest Children's museum in Latin American, the Castillo Castle, many museums including the National Anthropology Museum, an amusement park, botanical gardens, an amazing cemetery, and well you get the point?
We quickly visited the Castillo Castle, and then set of to the National Anthropology Museum.

I failed to take any pictures of the outside of the castle. Maybe this was due to the pure ginormous-ness of it? Maybe it was because I was more occupied with my younger daughter who "legs are about to shatter!!!" I did take some pictures of the murals inside which I was very impressed by.

Apparently, so was Teagan.

After Castillo, some food, and a complete mental break down by Ari. We arrived at the Anthro Museum.
Be forewarn: If you ever go to this Museum give yourself AT LEAST 2 hours!
It took us about four, which included some coffee in the cafeteria about half way through.

Start out in front, where you can see indigenous dancers and the famous "fliers" from Veracruz.

The National Anthropology Museum really is a must for anyone visiting Mexico City.
In fact I am making it mandatory!
