Overall a wonderful tour, starting with an introduction to the Mesopotamia region and cultures at the cafeteria. In view of the time and distances we visited the relevant and most impressive displays of the museum. If I’m any way you want to understand the Mexican culture, then the museum is a must. Thank you Natalia for a wonderful experience.
