Mexico’s National History Museum is housed within the Chapultepec Castle, the construction of which began in 1785. The castle has a fascinating history in its own right, having been the palatial home of ruler Maximiliano in the 1860s, and converted to a museum by presidential decree in 1939. The collection of historical artifacts and ephemera housed here today is stunning in both its scope and its quality: jewelry, furniture, religious objects and fine arts are just a few of the numerous categories that comprise the permanent collection.The castle itself is a national historical treasure with its stained glass windows and murals.

Military College of Chapultepec Hand Tinted Lithograph
Meaning hill of the grasshopper in náhuatl dialect, Chapultepec is a large and beautiful park within Mexico City. On the peak of the hill, scaling at a height of 2,325 meters sits the Castle of Chapultepec, home to only the sovereigns – presidents and emperors, who have left a permanent mark on the nation. This sacred site for the Aztec serves as an eternal witness of Mexican history – starting as a Military Academy in 1780, then an Imperial residence, Presidential home, an observatory, and presently, the National History Museum.

A statue situated at the east entrance of the park, Monumento a los Niños Héroes ("Boy Heroes"), contains six columns, each of which represents a child that died during the Battle of Chapultepec

On September 13, 1847, los Niños Héroes ("Boy Heroes") died while defending the castle from US forces during the Battle of Chapultepec (Mexican-American War). The castle served as the national military academy at the time of the attack. Although Santa Ana allowed the boys to retreat, many stayed behind to defend their home. One boy, Juan Escutia, is said to have wrapped himself in a Mexican flag and thrown himself from the building in lieu of surrendering. A mural painted on the ceiling above a stairwell in the main entrance of the castle honors them.September 13th is a national celebration known as "Dia de Los Niños Heroes de Chapultepec."

The castle became the Museo Nacional de Historia under a 1939 decree by President Lázaro Cárdenas. In its current capacity, the castle acts as a palatial museum, playing host to many stereotypical palatial museum-type things

This malachite door was made in Russia ca. 1850 for a world fair that took place around that time. It was commissioned by the emperor himself. Mexican president-dictator Porfirio Díaz (term: 1880s-1910) bought it and placed it in the "Malachite Room" in the Chapultepec castle in Mexico City. This is the place where Maximilian and Charlotte lived, although they never saw the door

Diaz made the castle his presidential palace and continued to adorn it in the same imperial style. He decorated its hallways with ornate malachite vases made in Italy, to a neo-classical design, from Russian material and purchased in France
