Description:
- Opened in 1987, this modern structure exhibits the archaeological discoveries of the adjacent Temple under excavation since 1978. Daily life, religious and ceremonial customs of the Mexica peoples are depicted through the unearthed archaeological artefacts. A maquette reconstructs buildings, providing a clear notion of the ancient city's ceremonial site. On the second floor, the original stone depiction of the goddess, Coyolxauhqui is also a great source of interest.
