Overview
- The Museo de la Grandeza Teotihuacana reopened to the public after a roughly 20-year closure on Monday, June 8, displaying about 170 complete objects with roughly 150 to 160 shown for the first time.
- Authorities installed metal detectors at all five entrances and deployed 70 Guardia Nacional members, 69 specialized INAH custodians and 20 auxiliary police to increase patrols and on-site security following the April attack.
- Federal and INAH officials said the work is part of a broader 37 million peso intervention at the site, with about 7 million pesos used to rehabilitate the new museum and upgrade visitor services such as ticketing, signage and restrooms.
- INAH reported that the executive project for an interdisciplinary restoration of the Templo de la Serpiente Emplumada is nearly complete and is under cost and technical revision before construction begins, and officials say the monument shows no recent structural damage.
- Local merchants report sales losses of about 30 percent since April while officials say visitor numbers recovered within days; authorities expect international arrivals tied to upcoming events could raise foot traffic in the coming weeks.
