Overview

This tour is built through the lens of an interdisciplinary artist and researcher (DOI published) who loves the intersection between art pieces, and the history of those societies who created them.

More than describing what you can actually see and read in the descriptions, the idea is to use these pieces to understand the symbols they contain and to decipher some of the key elements of these cultures.

The design and the script behind this experience are meant to convey all this information in a clear and concise way, but we are also open and willing to deliver more specific information depending on the guest's needs.

The guide owns a tourist certification at Escuela Nacional de Antropología e Historia and a bachelor in Design and Visual Communication at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.

Museo Nacional de Antropologia

This experience curated by an artist, researcher, and official tourist guide focuses on the project behind the design of the National Anthropology Museum, but mostly, on 6 of the 11 archaeology rooms in the building. By the end of it, you will have a clear understanding of the most representative cultures who inhabited Mesoamerica before the fall of Mexico Tenochtitlan in August 1521. Among others, we will use pieces from the Olmeca, Zapoteca, Teotihuacan, and Mexica cultures as vehicles for traveling through time and understanding their complex societies. Did you know that some of the pieces we are going to see that are made of gold, jade, and obsidian were stolen on December 25th, 1985? There’s a lot we can tell you about this museum.
