To the northeast of the valley of Mexico rises Teotihuacan, the great Mesoamerican ceremonial center in which between the II century BC and the II century AD were erected the great pyramids of the Sun and the Moon whose majestic contours harmonize with the silhouette of the surrounding mountains. Around these pyramids, a great sacred city developed whose splendor attracted pilgrims from all parts of Mesoamerica for several centuries. | To the northeast of the valley of Mexico rises Teotihuacan, the great Mesoamerican ceremonial center in which between the II century BC and the II century AD were erected the great pyramids of the Sun and the Moon whose majestic contours harmonize with the silhouette of the surrounding mountains.

The Museum has a small, superb collection of pre-Columbian art representing most of ancient Latin America. This art has strong ties to San Antonio representing the cultural roots of the city and over 65% of its citizenry. As a priority, the Museum collects, researches, and exhibits pre-Columbian art from Mesoamerica, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. However, the collection did not include examples of ancient art of the Greater Antilles and northwest central Mexico. Raíces Americanos changes that. | |||
