Exhibits on the Plaza

(This exhibition was presented in 1995)


To promote the film Mystery of the Maya and its theme, a stylized Maya pyramid-temple was erected outdoors on the Museum's Plaza. It contained several exhibits, including a reproduction of the sarcophagus of the priest-king Pacal and a scale model of a Maya settlement, used in the making of the IMAX film. Also on the Plaza were other exhibits related to Maya civilization.
