The Museo del Caracol (History Gallery) is an educational museum in Mexico City designed primarily for children and young people. Its spiral-shaped building features 12 descending rooms that use models and scenes to trace Mexican history from the end of the Viceroyalty to the 20th century. It's a good place to visit for a quick overview of Mexican Independence, the Reform War, and the Mexican Revolution, either before or after visiting other museums in the area.
