From Olmecs to Aztecs
The enormously successful ‘Aztecs’ exhibition which wowed hundreds of thousands in London and Berlin has crossed the Atlantic. It’s now the turn of The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City to host this extraordinary examination of the Aztec civilization. The Aztec Empire is the first major exhibition devoted to the subject in the US in more than two decades. More than 400 works drawn from public and private collections will be on view from 15 October to 13 February 2005.
Elsewhere in the US, lots happening at the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum in Chicago, including the Treasures from Ancient Veracruz exhibition that opened last week. It features a colossal three thousand year old Olmec head among the exhibits. The Center is also hosting the Sor Juana performing arts festival.
