Through impressive immersive scenarios, "Mexica Archaeoastronomy: Between Space and Time" illustrates the important role played by astronomical observation in the evolution of pre-Hispanic cultures in central Mexico.

The Mexicans used the calendrical and astronomical knowledge inherited by their predecessor cultures to find their empire's capital: Tenochtitlan. Vibrant colors, shapes, and sounds transport the viewer to one of the most important cultures that, to this day, still live in the heart and skin of the Mexican people. 

It is recommended for kids ages 8 and up.
