メトロポリタン美術館のインスタグラム(metmuseum) - 9月19日 08時17分

Shot in 1970 on location in Mexico and Honduras, “Cities of the Gods” was made to accompany the exhibition “Before Cortés: Sculpture of Middle America,” which celebrated The Met’s centennial that year.

The exhibition told a sweeping story of the civilizations that flourished in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean for centuries before European colonization, and brought many significant works never seen outside their countries of origin to New York City.

Fifty years later, scholarship on the Olmecs, Teotihuacan, the Maya, and the Aztecs (or Mexicas) has evolved far beyond what was once deemed as simply "mysterious," and starting in 2021, The Met will be rethinking the galleries of ancient American art to reflect these (and many other) shifts in understanding.
