Opened in 1964 in Chapultepec Park, the National Museum of Anthropology is Mexico's largest and most visited museum, run by INAH. Pedro Ramírez Vázquez's modernist building wraps 22 halls around a courtyard shaded by the famous "paraguas" fountain canopy. Ground-floor archaeology halls trace Mesoamerica from the peopling of the Americas through Teotihuacan, the Maya and the Mexica, home of the Sun Stone and Xochipilli, while the upper floor is devoted to the living Indigenous peoples of Mexico.
