Teotihuacan's Painted Walls
Many ancient Mesoamerican cities had painted buildings and painted murals that depicted deities, mythological scenes and perhaps even historical events, but none have yielded anywhere near the number of murals that have been found at Teotihuacán. Indeed, mural art was so pervasive in the city that Mexican authorities decided to create a special museum dedicated to them. This museum, named for Dr. Beatriz de la Fuente, Mexico's foremost historian of Pre-Columbian art, is located west of the Moon Pyramid and no matter how tired you think you are after walking all the way from the Great Compound, you must not miss it.
