Tenochtitlan beneath our feet: the pieces held by the SEP site museum

Beneath Mexico City’s historic center, ancient Tenochtitlan still beats. The SEP site museum safeguards pre-Hispanic pieces found in these excavations, such as a twin merlon that adorned the Calmecac, the school of the Mexica nobility. The show is small but moving: each fragment is a reminder of the city that existed before the city. For anyone who walks the center daily, seeing these objects changes the way you tread the ground. With ArtGuide each piece recovers its place in the Mexica metropolis.
