National Museum of Anthropology

Its extraordinary collections of pre-Columbian art by Mayan and Aztec civilisations make the National Museum of Anthropology of Mexico the most important of its kind in the West.

The 450 photographs with which this book commemorates the 40th anniversary of the institution are put into context through texts by first-rate anthropologists and historians. The book is rounded off with a study of the most recent archaeological works on the Tula, Mexica, Maya and Teotihuacán cultures, making it the most complete collection on the Museum and Mexican anthropology.
