BERLIN.- The
Martin-Gropius-Bau presents the exhibition Teotihuacan –
Mexico’s Mysterious Pyramid City. More than 450 outstanding objects
giving a
comprehensive insight into the art, everyday life and religion of this
enigmatic
culture will be on view in Europe for the first time. They include
specimens of
monumental architecture, filigree vessels and figures, costly stone
carvings,
masks, statues of gods and representations of animals as well as
examples of
highly symbolic murals which have retained their brilliant colours since
their
creation some 2,000 years ago. Permission has been given for the first
(and
probably the last) time for the 15 large-format fragments of murals to
be sent
abroad. Numerous exhibits were only discovered in the latest
excavations.  On exhibition until 10 October,
2010.
