ANFIBIUM: Museo del Axolote y Centro de Conservación de Anfibios
About This Museum
Did you know the axolotl can regenerate its spinal cord, heart, and even parts of its brain? That sense of wonder is exactly what ANFIBIUM captures. It's not just a museum; it's a living, breathing conservation center dedicated entirely to these magical amphibians and their relatives. You'll wander past beautiful aquatic habitats that feel like peering into the crystal-clear canals of Xochimilco itself. The whole place hums with a quiet purpose, blending education with a genuine mission to save these incredible creatures from extinction.
Collection Highlights
The star is, of course, the axolotl, with several color morphs on display from leucistic to wild type. Beyond them, you'll discover a 'Frog Orchestra' of native Mexican species and fascinating exhibits on amphibian biology and mythology.
Visitor Information
Tucked away in Chapultepec Park, it's a perfect, intimate stop after visiting the zoo or castle. Just look for the modern glass and concrete building near the park's second section.
Architecture & Building
A sleek, contemporary structure that feels light and transparent, with lots of glass allowing natural light to flood the spaces and blur the line between the museum and the surrounding forest.
