The Aztec and Maya Revival exhibition illustrates the resurgence of Pre-Columbian motifs and patterns in Mexico’s modern arts during the late 19th and early 20th century. The main gallery features revival decorative art including jewelry by William Spratling and Matilde Poulat, ceramics, paper, books, and textiles, as well as authentic Pre-Columbian artifacts. Fine art works include paintings by Roberto Montenegro and Miguel Covarrubias, and sculptures by Miguel Noreña and Luis Ortiz Monasterio. In the back gallery, 1950’s Mexican horror films from the Aztec Mummy Collection will be showing in the Museum’s recreation of the Aztec Theater.
