Museo Nacional de Antropologia, Mexico City

At the end of the 18th century the documents that formed part of the collection by Lorenzo Boturini were placed by order of the viceroy of Bucareli in the Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico. There they also sheltered the sculptures of Coatlicue and the Sun Stone which would begin the tradition of constructing museums in Mexico...By 1906 the growth of the collections encouraged Justo Sierra to divide the stock of the National Museum, therefore the collections of natural history moved to the beautiful building of Chopo which was constructed specifically to shelter permanent expositions.
The museum then received the name National Museum of Archaeology, History and Ethnography and was re-opened September 9th, 1910 in the presence of President Porfirio Díaz. In the year of 1924 the stock of the museum had increased to 52,000 objects and had received more than 250,000 visitors which conceded it the right to vote for the adjudication of the Nobel Prize. It was considered one of the most interesting and prestigious museums of the world.
On December 13, 1940 they moved the history collections to the Castle of Chapultepec, and the museum changed its name to what it is now: The National Museum of Anthropology. The construction of the actual museum began in February 1963 in the fields of Chapultepec. As it was mentioned in the Architecture subsection, the project was coordinated by architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez and assisted by Rafael Mijares and Jorge Campuzano. With the motive of the inauguration of the National Museum of Anthropology in mind, the Secretary of Public Education commissioned the songwriter Carlos Chávez the creation of a musical piece titled "Resonances". This piece would be released the same day of the inauguration of the museum. (Wikipedia 2014-09-30)
