Universum, the Science Museum of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, is the country's leading institution for promoting science and technology to the public. Opened in 1992, it is one of the first science museums of its type in Latin America. The museum is located in the Ciudad Universitaria in Mexico City, an area that houses a number of the university's cultural institutions. Its mission is to contribute to the formation of a scientific and technological culture, and to foster an interest in science and technology by society in general.
Permanent Exhibitions
The museum features thirteen halls, each dedicated to a different theme for various permanent exhibitions. These include the José de la Herrán Planetarium, the Parákata Butterfly Exhibit, the Patli exhibit on medicinal plants, Biodiversity Hall, Mathematics Hall, Golem unit on artificial intelligence, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, The Brain, Chemistry in Everything, The Universe, Euclid’s Window, Our City, Evolution, Life and Time, Population, Health and Sexuality. These exhibitions are designed to increase understanding by using simplified language and attractive presentations.
Temporary Exhibitions
In addition to its permanent exhibits, Universum also hosts small- and large-scale temporary exhibitions. These exhibitions are sometimes created in collaboration with other institutions. Past exhibitions have included a display dedicated to the science related to the excavation and interpretation of the remains of the ancient city of Teotihuacan, and an exhibit demonstrating how a virus infects a cell, created by artist and architect Antonio O’Connell.
