Located in Chapultepec Park in the heart of Mexico City, this anthropological and archaeological museum portrays the native cultures of Mesoamerica—most from the preconquest era—in all their brilliance and splendor. Housed on two floors in an award-winning 1964 building, the museum is reminiscent of the timeless grandeur of an Aztec temple. The massive collection contains the 24-ton, 15th-century Aztec “Sun Stone” (one of Mexico’s most recognized symbols and the museum’s pièce de résistance), elaborately feathered Aztec headdresses, exquisite pieces of gold and alabaster and the simple instruments that were used in everyday life.
