Thematic rooms: Artists: DalĂ­, Van Gogh (ear not shown), Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo and Siqueiros. Tauromaquia: Regardless of your interest in bullfighting, this room is one of the prettiest. It includes PlĂĄcido Domingo singing in a box. History of Mexico: from Independence figures—through a room housing the presidents of the 20th century—to an AMLO who looks in his twenties. The only complaint: where is Porfirio DĂ­az? World History: Presidents of the USA, European kings, Gandhi, Bill Gates — with collectible sneakers. Religion: Popes, virgins and saints in a small chapel. Sports: Ronaldinho, Hugo SĂĄnchez, Palencia (the Pumas player), Cristiano Ronaldo. Hollywood: Tom Cruise, Elvis, Robert De Niro, Meryl Streep, Hugh Jackman and also national celebrities from the Golden Age of Mexican cinema, popular music, and an interactive figure of AdriĂĄn Uribe, or rather “El VĂ­tor.” Terror: The best place in the entire museum and one of the most famous rooms in all the city’s museums. In a dungeon-like setting, mythical creatures with sound and movement hide; some are quite terrifying: Exorcist, The Ring, classic monsters, zombies. Children: Characters from Cri-CrĂ­, Harry Potter, Plaza SĂ©samo, Disney – Snow White with Botox and her seven dwarfs –, El Chavo del 8 and Superman, Batman, Iron Man and Spider-Man.
