Summary
Addressing the Olmec period through to the Aztecs (a span of over 2500 years), Mexico: Journey to the Land of the Gods is an exploration into the civilizations of Mesoamerica through an examination of 250 magnificent art objects. The authoritative text is supported by stunning reproductions of artifacts drawn from key ethnographical collections in Mexico. Together these elements help create a story of a civilization in which we can recognize the enduring quests and questions of humankind.
