Stones, ruins, bones, mummies, mannequins, statues, photographs, fakes, instruments, and natural history specimens all formed part of Mexico's National Museum complex at different moments across two centuries. This book traces the emergence, consolidation, and dispersal of this national museum complex by telling the stories of its objects.
