Despite speaking Spanish, this Mexican family still used the phrase 'Say Cheese!' when posing for the camera, but then I suppose you don't want to be saying queso when the shutter fires!

Several Chapultepec Castle rooms occupied by Maximilian and Carlota have been restored.
The castle is located in the first section of the Chapultepec Woods. Chapultepec means “Mountain of the Grasshopper” (Montaña del Chapulín).
Today the castle is the Museo Nacional de Historia of Mexico.
Throughout the years the building was modified and adjusted to meet several purposes.
In 1859 it became the Imperial Palace and the residency of Maximilian I and Carlota, then Emperors of Mexico.
With the years, the Castle fell in disuse but in 1939 the Castle was set to function as museum.
The Castle is divided into two areas: The Military School and the Alcázar, the residency of the Emperor.
The Alcázar rooms, show the life inside the Castle at the time of Maximilian, with furniture, jewelry, paintings and other objects.
The palace would remain the official residence of the president of Mexico until 1939 when President Lázaro Cárdenas made it the National Museum of History.
