The museum is divided into two floors, with 12 halls (sala) on the ground floor, which focus on exhibiting more than 27,000 cultural relics unearthed from archaeology, mainly introducing the Mexican civilization in the pre-Hispanic period, including a large number of treasures reflecting Indian civilization, such as painted portrait pots, painted pottery pots , jaguar weng, corn god statue incense burner, smiling face, human face pattern incense burner, rain god statue urn, etc. The 24-ton sun stone in the Mexica exhibition hall has become a proof of the Aztecs' former glory. The exhibition hall on the second floor basically corresponds to the first floor in position, and is used to display Mexican contemporary culture and modern life. Through costumes, musical instruments, weapons, religious utensils and daily utensils and other cultural relics, the culture, art, religion and way of life of various ethnic groups in Mexico are described in detail. The museum building itself is a model of modern Mexican architecture, and the huge umbrella-shaped stone pillar fountain in the central hall is the finishing touch, which has also appeared on many postcards of Mexico City. In addition, the museum also contains relevant introductions to anthropological overviews, prehistoric times, and primitive immigration to the American continent.Show Less - 8.04.5/5149 ReviewFree
