Among the most important museum spaces in Mexico is the National Museum of Anthropology, an institution that is part of the National Institute of Anthropology and History. The origin of its collections dates from 1825 when the then Emperor Agustin Iturbide created it as part of the policies of the Mexican nation. Later, Maximilian of Habsburg assigns the former Mint as a precinct. For 1887 the space was reorganized with important works of the pre-Hispanic period; thus the great monolithic hall opens and, in addition, legislation and research spaces, such as the General Inspection of Archaeological Monuments of the Mexican Republic and the Department of Ethnography, together with the rooms of Anthropology and Ethnography.

Vestige of the Austrian Empire, Miramare Castle is enchantingly located on the Grignano promontory facing the Trieste Gulf on the Adriatic Sea, about 8 km / 5 miles northwest of the most north-easterly city of Italy, Trieste.

Miramare is surrounded by a sea shore park of 22 hectares / 54 acres, characterized by an impressive variety of plants, many of which were specially chosen by the archduke during his travels around the world as admiral of the Austrian Military Marine.
