ENORMOUS MUSEUM IN MEXICO (NATIONAL MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOLOGY)| Eileen Aldis

The National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropología) is absolutely enormous. Located in Mexico City's Chapultepec Park, it's the largest and most visited museum in all of Mexico. The museum has an extensive collection of artifacts from Mexico's pre-Columbian history that are of special archaeological and anthropological significance. Covering about 80,000 square metres, the architecture is stunning and has a huge umbrella-like structure supported by just a single beam. Some of the highlights of the museum are giant stone heads from the Olmec civilization as well as treasures from the Mayan civilization. Two of the most popular attractions are the Aztec Stone Of The Sun and a reconstruction of the tomb of Pacal The Great, a Mayan ruler who was deified (603 CE - 683 CE). You could easily spend days in this massive museum, but it's worth seeing even if you only have a couple of hours.
