This morning we had a lecture and question/answer session about Coatlicue, Mother Earth, a Mexica (people before the Aztecs) godess.  Then we travelled to the museum of anthropology by bus, about 10 minutes from the university.  The museum is located in "Parque de Chapultepeque."  It's a beautiful building, only 47 years old.  This museum is houses the largest collections of pre-hispanic art.  Enjoy the pictures.  More about the museum here http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivo:Mexico_-_Museo_de_antropologia_-_Teteoinnan_(aveugle).JPG
