Museo de Antropologia

 

Mexico City

 

other worldly - literally

 

 

we saw so many wonderful things

I have tried to pick out only the most interesting

so as not to bore you

 



 

it was truly like entering another world

 

 

it was human scale

 

 

the colors were amazing

 

 

 

I thought these were so cool

the actual little paint trays they used

 

 

the colored pottery was still so vibrant

 

 

 

and so detailed

 

 

our friends waited patiently

we couldn't have done it without them

 

 

the beautiful detail behind them

 

 

 something wonderful about these little figures

 

 

 

 

 look at the detail in this tiny figure

 

 

not sure what these tiny beds were....

 

 

very interesting pottery

 

 

check out the legs

 

 

these are life size copies of original cave paintings

 

 

 

in Baja

 

I have always wanted to see them and it was very powerful standing under them

 

 

this is a piece of ancient fabric

 

 

 loved these bowls

 

 

so simple and yet so elegant

 

 

 

after the museo we were so beat

 

we tried to go to the park (that's it on the right)

but the teachers strike (that's them on the left)

closed down the park - imagine Chapultepec Park closed!

 

almost like trying to go to a National Park in the US these last few weeks
