Anthropolgy Museum of Mexico

Mexico City is a massive city. No one is really sure how many people live here, but most estimates are between 25 and 30 million. Anything and everything exists here amongst the colonial Spanish architectural backdrop.

I went to the Anthropology Museum with my friend Juan who is working towards his PhD. in anthropology. Kind of like having my own tour guide to show me around. It was certainly better than the previous evening when the police decided to give me a personal tour of the inside of the station at 3 in the morning, but that's a different story...

Anthropology and cultural heritage is extremely strong here in Mexico. There are constant references to indigenous cultures ranging from the Mexica to the Aztecs to the Maya. It is this combination of new world and old world traditions that makes travel throughout Mexico such an interesting experience.
