Introduction

Museo de la Cultura Teotihuacana sits inside the archaeological zone — the place to brief yourself before walking the ruins. Galleries follow three lines: construction history, daily life and religion. Mural fragments, pottery and obsidian tools show how the city lived; greenstone masks and stone sculpture lay out the pantheon; another case explains the substructure and drainage of the Temple of the Feathered Serpent. See it first and the platforms and reliefs outside make far more sense.
