Exhibition

Why it is worth going

Large in scale and historical range, with a comparative civilizational framework that goes beyond a conventional display of treasures.

Using the cosmological idea of the World Tree as its thread, the exhibition brings together major loans from Mexico, Peru and Chinese institutions to survey Olmec, Maya, Aztec, Andean and Inca civilizations.
