What you can expect

The past of the territory now known as Mexico is glorious. Its various cultures developed impressive architectural works, calendars, mathematics, farming systems, and, of course, highly complex social systems. Despite all this, their history, thinking, and worldview are not so complicated if you understand some of their ideology.

Join me on a journey into the past to learn a little about the worldview of Mexico’s indigenous peoples; this tour will provide you with a different perspective, and your understanding of Mesoamerican cultures is bound to change.

Why are the depictions on vessels, pictograms, and rock engravings of animals?
Why did they feature snakes, eagles, jaguars in their attire or paintings?
What do the sun and the moon represent?

If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions, or if you simply want to learn more about the cultures that inhabited Mexico in ancient times, then this is the tour for you. History doesn’t have to be boring—join me as we visit the most important and impressive rooms in this beautiful museum.
