Mexica Archeoastronomy artfully intertwines science and mythology, delving into how the Mexicans used the calendrical and astronomical knowledge of previous cultures to find the capital of their empire, Tenochtitlan. Vibrant colours, shapes and sounds transport the viewer to a culture that, to this day, still lives on in the hearts of the Mexican people. The show was produced by Frutos Digitales in collaboration with the European Southern Observatory and financed by the National Council of Science and Technology of Mexico and is available in English and Spanish.
This show takes place indoors. You may drop off visitors in the circle drive outside the planetarium. Please park in the M1 parking lot.
