A landmark volume in the World of Art Library series, this authoritative guide chronicles the extraordinary collections housed within Mexico City's world-renowned National Museum of Anthropology. Written by Ignacio Bernal — one of Mexico's foremost archaeologists and a former director of the museum itself — the work presents a sweeping survey of pre-Columbian civilisations, from the Olmec and Teotihuacan cultures to the Maya and Aztec empires. Illustrated with 171 plates, including 26 in colour, it details the museum's most significant artefacts and argues for their central importance in understanding the deep roots of Mesoamerican history and identity. Scholarly yet accessible, the text instructs readers on the cultural and artistic achievements of ancient Mexico with the authority of a man who helped shape the institution itself.
