You step through the museum's broad concrete portal and the city noise thins; inside, stone and shadow hold court. For three hours a private guide moves you room to room—Olmec heads that seem to watch your pace, a Mayan stela that hushes conversation, and the Aztec Sun Stone staged like a planet at the museum's heart. The layout directs you geographically and temporally, so the flow of objects becomes a map of changing empires.
