Nezahualcóyotl: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Nezahualcóyotl, often called "Ciudad Neza," is a major municipality located in the State of Mexico, directly adjacent to Mexico City's eastern border. Founded in the 1960s on what was once Lake Texcoco's dried lakebed, the city has evolved from an informal settlement into one of Mexico's most populous urban areas. Named after the pre-Hispanic poet-king Nezahualcóyotl of Texcoco, the city has developed a distinct cultural identity despite its relatively young age.

The municipality has made significant efforts to develop its cultural infrastructure, including public spaces for arts and education. Despite its initial challenges as an urban settlement, Nezahualcóyotl has become an important cultural and educational center in the Mexico City metropolitan area, with several cultural centers, libraries, and educational institutions serving its large population.
