Audio Guide of the National Museum of Death

The National Museum of Death is open from Tuesday to Sunday. Its usual hours are 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and it is closed on Mondays. No advance reservation is required; you can simply arrive and buy your tickets at the box office.

General admission to the National Museum of Death costs MXN 30. Discounts are available for students, teachers, and seniors with valid ID, who pay only MXN 15. Admission is free to all visitors on Sundays.

To fully enjoy the exhibitions at the National Museum of Death and understand its rich collection, we recommend allowing about 1.5 to 2 hours. That will give you enough time to admire the pieces and read the information.

The National Museum of Death is unique of its kind. It was founded by printmaker José Guadalupe Posada and houses an impressive collection of artworks and objects related to the culture of death in Mexico, from pre-Hispanic times to the present day. It is a window into the Mexican worldview on such a universal subject.

Generally, weekday mornings from Tuesday to Thursday tend to be less crowded, allowing for a calmer visit. If your trip coincides with Day of the Dead in late October and early November, the museum takes on a special atmosphere, although there will be more visitors. We suggest visiting early in the morning for a more intimate experience.

Yes, the National Museum of Death is committed to inclusion. It has ramps and suitable access in most of its rooms for visitors with reduced mobility. For any specific questions or assistance, we recommend contacting them directly at +52 (449) 910 2097.

Aguascalientes has much more to offer! Just a short walk from the museum, you can visit the beautiful Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption and the iconic San Marcos Garden. I also recommend the Aguascalientes Museum or taking a stroll through the historic center, full of colonial architecture. For more information, you can visit the official Aguascalientes tourism website: turismo.aguascalientes.gob.mx.

Of course! I suggest wearing comfortable shoes so you can explore the galleries at a relaxed pace. Don’t forget your camera, but please avoid using flash, to capture the impressive works. If you have time, explore the museum shop; they sometimes have unique handcrafted pieces. Also, consider using an audio guide to enrich your experience with detailed narration about each exhibition.
