How much do you know about the people who lived in Mexico before it was invaded by Europeans? Who were the Pre-Hispanic inhabitants, and what else did they do besides build some of the world\u2019s most impressive pyramids?<\/p>\n
One of the best ways to understand a culture is to look at their art, and one of the best collections of Pre-Columbian Mexican art you will ever find is in the\u00a0Museo Amparo<\/strong>\u00a0in the historic center of\u00a0Puebla City<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Housed in two colonial buildings, dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, the museum was opened in 1991, and the pieces in its remarkable collection range in age from 2,500 B.C. to the present day. Can you guess when the three sculptures at the top were made?<\/p>\n The\u00a0mother and child<\/strong>\u00a0were modeled in clay by a Tlatilco artist between 1000 and 800 B.C. The\u00a0dog with a cob of corn in her mouth<\/strong>\u00a0is Comala from the Late Preclassic period of 300 B.C. to 600 A.D.\u00a0 And the\u00a0man in a reflective state<\/strong>\u00a0is Olmec, created sometime between 1200 and 500 B.C.<\/p>\n Want to see more?
