Aztecs: Colonial Mexico
built 642 days ago
The Aztecs and the Making of Colonial Mexico expands traditional conceptions of Aztec civilization and challenges the idea that the Spanish completely destroyed Aztec society and culture. The exhibit insightfully addresses the 300 years after the conquest that Aztec-Nahua colonial communities, artists, scholars, writers, landowners, and religious leaders worked, litigated, published, wrote, and interacted with Spaniards. The result was a rich cultural exchange of economic, intellectual, and artistic labor.

Modern day Mexicans are of mixed Spanish and indigenous ancestry, descendants of the Mexicas (Aztecs) or of other indigenous peoples of the Aztec Empire and Mesoamerica. Mexico City now stands on the site of the Aztec’s most elaborate and capitol city.
