Packing a collection of nearly 100,000 pieces, some as old as the Mexican War of Independence (1810), this two-story design museum tells unique versions of Mexican history by compiling objects for thematic exhibits such as fútbol in Mexico. The permanent collection groups together items such as matchboxes, printing stamps and plenty of tins – for tobacco, shoe polish and gramophone needles.
Many of the items are viewable on the website.
