Decoding the thousand-year-old Mexican statues in the heart of Hanoi

22 artifacts (replicas) introduce prominent civilizations such as Aztecs, Maya and Olmecs, showing clear influences in many aspects of painting, art, culture... today in Mexico.

For the first time in Vietnam, there is an exhibition of Mexican antiquities spanning more than 2,000 years of history - the exhibition "Journey through Ancient Mexico." This is the pre-Columbian art period, with ancient civilizations that existed before the discovery of the Americas and before the Spanish conquest.

The event was held at the exhibition center at 93 Dinh Tien Hoang (Hanoi) to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Vietnam-Mexico diplomatic relations (May 19, 1975 - May 19, 2025). Here, 22 replicas of artifacts opened up a part of the unique ancient world of this Latin American country, introducing many special symbols and shapes, linking cultural art between ancient and modern times./.
