The National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City is one of the most renowned museums in the world, dedicated to the archeology and history of Mexico's pre-Columbian heritage. Opened in 1964, it is located in Chapultepec Park and features extensive collections that include the iconic Aztec Sun Stone, artifacts from the Maya civilization, and numerous other objects representing the rich cultural history of Mexico's indigenous peoples. The museum's architecture, designed by Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, is also noteworthy, featuring a large central courtyard with a striking umbrella-like structure supported by a single pillar.
