The Hall of Mexico & Central America at the American Museum of Natural History presents an anthropological overview of pre-Columbian cultures of the region. The virtual hall complements the existing hall by providing visitors and researchers with digital images and detailed information of over 1,400 artifacts displayed in the hall and by presenting new information about these pre-Columbian cultures gleaned from research conducted since the hall's opening in 1970.

This project is a collaboration between the Division of Anthropology and Exhibition Department of the American Museum of Natural History.
