Mexico City airport pre-columbian display

[bixaorellana]

These were taken on April 20, 2008. I was returning from the States & had a layover in Mexico City, so wandered around. There are generally some exhibitions there, although I never saw anything this impressive before. These are the real pieces, not reproductions, from around the country. I may have written down what was what, but can't find it.

That's probably as close as some people got to Mexican culture while they were in the country. (Cancun comes to mind.)

Bixa - the stone is a wonderful colour.

Bixa,when was this display put up? I'm trying to remember if it was there in 1998. That airport was a city unto itself.

I don't remember displays in 1998. The one shown here is in the new part of the airport. The airport is now in two parts.
