  Let's "rock" into this "rock star" museum. Outstanding architecture and beautifuly uncommon colorful stones in different shapes an origins. This rolling stones and a tour might enlighten anyone about Earth and outer space development indeed - no concert rush needed -. Avoid to come only if you are from other planet and allergic to Kriptonite.

  Great geology Museum. Tons of artifact from everywhere in the world. Every rock and mineral imaginable. They even have a respectable collection of meteorites. And don't miss the interactive exhibits downstairs. There's a great rock wall simulation of a cross-section of Earth. It's small enough to stand in touch, but large enough to accurately depict strata and intrusions and sediment and everything else.
  
  The building that houses this museum is also fantastic. Beautiful old architecture.
  
  The only thing I would change is to add more specific Mexico City geology exhibits.

  Good for a short-visit museum. It has an old fashioned feel to it which I liked. A number of fossils (mammoths and other elephant ancestors) as well as a whole bunch of crystals, mineral deposits, etc.

  The building has a gorgeous arquitectural style of traditional older buildings you will find in this neighborhood. The entrance also shows there are collections upstairs which were sadly closed during my visit. The main room looks a bit small until you explore the adjacent rooms all with their own themes derived from stones, crystals and fossils. You would never think such an outstanding collection can be this well hidden.

  Es un museo maravilloso, que da cuenta de los orígenes de la vida y de restos fósiles impresionantes; pero también muestra al público, exigente y no tanto, ejemplos de nuestro entorno geográfico ígneo y sedimentario; además de estae en un edificio pir demás hermoso e interesante. Vale la pena teaer a hijos pequeños y no tan pequeños para que se maravillen con la reconstrucción de un mamut y los restos oseos de armadillos prehistóricos gigantes También hay un dinosaurio encontrado en el esrado de Coahuila

  This is such a hidden gem! The entry has a beautiful classic architecture. At first glance, the museum appears to be just a little room. But after you pay the 20 pesos and go in, you discover that there are doors that lead to more rooms which have hallways to more rooms which have stairwells to more rooms! It is really an adventure just to explore the place. The main floor has a seemingly endless array of sparkling minerals, mysterious rocks, and beautiful stones. Once you find the stairwell downstairs, you'll get to interact with a number of machines that teach about geology. Admittedly, the museum is a bit out of date. The downstairs technology seems from a decade ago, and the exhibits refer to places like Czhechoslavakia, but if you enjoy beautiful marble and crystals, you'll enjoy this museum that is far from the beaten museum path for tourists.
