Mexico City - Museo Nacional de las Intervenciones

The Museo Nacional de las Intervenciones on Calle 20 de Agosto, a few minutes' walk from the General Anaya underground station (Line 20, is housed in the former Franciscan friary of Churubusco. Opened in 1981, the museum boasts a remarkable collection of photos, weapons, pictures, flags and historical documents which provide an interesting if somewhat subjective portrayal of Mexico's wars against invading armies - the struggles for independence between 1810 and 1821 with subsequent Spanish intervention, the war with the United States 1846-48, the French Wars of Intervention of 1838 and 1861-67, and finally the revolutionary period during which U.S. troops invaded Mexico. The situation of the museum is very relevant to the exhibits,
