Maya Hall

Maya Hall (Sala Maya), on the ground floor of the National Museum of Anthropology, spotlights a culture that was arguably the most advanced in all Mesoamerica. While the artifacts displayed here may not equal the grandeur of their lavishly decorated temples—the singular Mayan architectural achievement—they affirm the beauty of Mayan art. Many of the ceramic figurines, pieces of jewelry and death masks were retrieved from burial sites.
