Around the Exhibition
Historical Context
The Mexica civilization, often referred to as the Aztecs, was notable for its sophistication in various fields, including architecture, mathematics, and astronomy. The Templo Mayor, located at the heart of their capital, Tenochtitlán, represented the spiritual and political center dedicated to the gods Tlaloc and Huitzilopochtli. The accidental discovery of the Coyolxauhqui monolith in 1978 marked a turning point in Mexican archaeology, sparking extensive excavations that revealed the depth and complexity of Mexica religion and cosmology.
What to Expect
At the "Mexica: Gifts and Gods at the Templo Mayor" exhibition, visitors can expect to discover a fascinating collection of offerings, artworks, and artifacts that testify to the cultural and spiritual richness of the Mexica civilization. The INAH, responsible for curation, plays a crucial role in providing expertise and ensuring the authenticity and preservation of these historical witnesses, offering a unique window into the pre-Columbian past.
Visiting the exhibition provides a rare opportunity to deepen one's understanding of the Mexica civilization, emphasizing its lasting impact on modern history and culture. It's also a unique chance to see up close artifacts never before exhibited in Europe, providing visitors with an unparalleled cultural and educational experience.
