National Anthropology Museum

Opened in 1964 following plans by Pedro Ramirez Vazquez, the huge National Museum of Anthropology is a very appropriate framework for a collection of pre-Columbian findings enjoying worldwide fame. What impressed me most was the enormous central courtyard, which is almost entirely covered by an aluminum roof 84 meters long held by a column of 11 meters. It is believed that this is the largest concrete structure in the world supported by a single column. Inside, there are many pieces of jewelry, but if I have to point out my favorites, I would start with the Sun Stone, erroneously called Mayan Calendar, the reconstruction of the Temple of Quetzalcoatl and the tomb of Pakal in Palenque.

The Museum of Anthropology has shows every hour where you can see the traditions of Mexico. It is a great place for tourists.

The National Museum of Anthropology is a highly recommended place to learn more about the Maya and Aztec cultures. Here is a picture of the Aztec calendar, one of the greatest treasures of the museum

It's a great place for the tourist and you will know a big part of Mexico's history.
