This museum is the most visited museum in Mexico and it was quite over whelming in all that it contained and we took it at a fast clip. It had a huge variety of exhibits and some of them were extremely large. We paid the extra money to have headsets in English so we could hear about some of the exhibits--but not all. While in the museum, the camera ceased to work and what we thought were dead batteries, turned out to be a full memory card--or we would have even more photos!

| Got this from Wikipedia: "The Aztec calendar stone, Mexica sun stone, Stone of the Sun(Spanish: Piedra del Sol), or Stone of the Five Eras, is a large monolithic sculpture that was excavated in the Zócalo, the main square of Mexico City, on December 17, 1790. It was discovered while Mexico City Cathedral was being repaired. The stone is approximately 12 feet across and weighs approximately 24 tons." |
