A museum that resurfaced
After two decades without activity, the Museum of Teotihuacan Grandeza reopened its doors last June. Its reopening is part of an INAH strategy to recover the museum spaces within the archaeological zone.
Joel Omar Vázquez Herrera, general director of INAH, reported that 7 million pesos were invested in this renovation. The objective, he explained, was to achieve a museography that allows “imagining the slopes and, of course, the feathered snakes.”
Pieces never seen before
A relevant fact: 80% of the collection exhibited is unpublished. “That is, they had never shown it before,” said Vázquez Herrera.
Among the most notable pieces is a 3,500-year-old rubber ball. Since its opening on June 9, the museum has received 25 thousand 15 visits, both national and international. The official described the response as “very important.”
Support for textile art
Marina Núñez Bespalova, Undersecretary of Cultural Development, highlighted the launch of the Original Workshop. This space seeks to train and accompany artisans in the textile field, strengthening a tradition that coexists with the archaeological legacy.
With this reopening, Teotihuacán recovers a key site to understand the greatness of one of the most emblematic civilizations of Mexico.
