Ancient Mexico: Maya, Aztec, and Teotihuacan

February 6 - May 6, 2024

Mexico’s ancient civilization flourished for a period of over 3,000 years, from the 15th-century BCE to the Spanish conquest of the 16th-century CE. This exhibition consists of some 140 myriad artifacts derived primarily from the Mayan, Aztecan, and Teotihuacan cultures. Located in a harsh natural environment plagued by volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and droughts, these civilizations constructed magnificent monuments. And with their worship of universal deities and nature, and a unique worldview and formative beauty that emerged from the diverse environment, the cultures remain deeply captivating.
