Obsidian Mirror-Travels: Refracting Ancient Mexican Art and Archaeology

The relationship between Mexican art and their creators is the focus of this exhibit created by the Getty Museum. Designed to complement an in situ exhibit, the online version brings together ancient Mexican books, the Aztec calendar stone, and colonial objects from Spanish Mexico. All of the items in the exhibition were created over the past five hundred years by "explorers, archaeologists, and artists who have in one way or another used Mexico's Pre-Columbian past as a vehicle for their journeys." Visitors can wind their way through the eleven sections of the exhibit, which include "Panoramas", "French Intervention", and "Through the Obsidian Mirror". Each section contains a brief text passage, along with representative items which illuminate the thematic focus discussed within.
