WHAT IS MUTEC?

Technological Museum in Mexico City opened its doors on November 20, 1970, originally specialized in energy industry. In its four rooms of 600 square meters each, are permanent exhibitions, such as Fly with Helix, where young visitors can learn to master Helix famous pilot of the CFE; Electropolis, which presents the major discoveries and inventions of scientists world; The house-saving electric power, which in the manner of puppet theater, a home appliances come to life to invite viewers to take action to save electricity; Bola 8, which is a sound installation billiard balls with feet in diameter, which dominates the skill and dexterity of children and young people in a game of musical notes and color; Connect to CFE, where kiosks in Electro videos and games are planned question and answer , has been called by the scientific community as the first interactive science museum in Latin America. It is located in the second section of Chapultepec Park.

It also offers interesting scientific projections at the Auditorium and Planetarium, courses, workshops fun and many more activities.

The MUTEC has no cost, both the entry and activities carried out are in free of charge (admission, exhibitions and workshops, services etc.).

Aware of the importance of giving people a space to enable them to meet and learn about scientific and technological developments, the Federal Electricity Commission allocates 55.080 meters square area located in the Bosque de Chapultepec, to build a museum cover the needs e ressed at the time, therefore, the november 20, 1970 and as Director General of the Federal Electricity Commission Mr. Guil

During the 80's you create the Mexican Society for Popularization of Science and Tech logy (SOMEDICYT) and the guidance of the Board of electromagnetism, since the area is a must for students of primary, secondary and high school.

For 1 2 through the Mexican Academy of Sciences Conferences born "Sunday in Science." In the Sunday program creates the "Wagon of Science" which was supported by CONACYT.

In 1 8 he opened the Planetarium, which also features on the present universe, astro my lecture series.

In the 90's the Museum became part of the school visits program of the SEP. Also arises in this decade the National Week of Science and Technology to be the Tech Museum headquarters for the event.
