🏛️ Mexico City | Second Visit to the Anthropology Museum 🏛️🌍

This museum comes highly recommended—I visited twice in five days! 🤯 (Pro tip: Go on a free-admission day 🤫). 🎨 Museo Nacional de Antropología Highlights (Ranked!): 📜🙇♀️ Teotihuacán Hall Teotihuacán, once Mesoamerica’s greatest metropolis, shines here with monumental stone carvings, vibrant murals, and pottery. Don’t miss the Feathered Serpent sculpture—its detail is mind-blowing! 🐍✨ 🗿🙇♂️ Olmec Hall The Olmecs, Mesoamerica’s “mother culture,” are represented by colossal stone heads, jade artifacts, and ritual objects reflecting their cosmic worldview. 🌌🔮 📏📐 Mayan Astronomy & Math The Maya’s genius shines in their calendar systems and cosmic art.
