One of the great museums of the world, in a modernist 1964 building inside Chapultepec Park. Twelve ground-floor halls cover the major pre-Columbian cultures of Mexico — Olmec, Teotihuacan, Maya, Aztec, Zapotec, and the rest — with the originals of the Aztec Sun Stone, the colossal Olmec heads, and the jade mask of the Mayan king Pakal. Plan on at least three hours; the cafeteria is fine for a break.
