Newly Discovered Treasures From The Ancient CLOUDEATERS City Of Teotihuacan Coming To The US For The First Time
July 2, 2017 by SkyWatch Editor
One of the most significant archaeological sites in the world will take center stage at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (FAMSF) this fall with the de Young Museum’s “Teotihuacan: City of Water, City of Fire.” “In this groundbreaking exhibition, an abundance of recent archaeological discoveries will offer visitors to the de Young insight into the life of the ancient city and reveal the astounding size and significance of the Teotihuacan murals in our own collection,” said FAMSF director and CEO Max Hollein in a statement. The mural fragments in the museum collection will be reunited with others excavated from the same compound. Billed as the US’s first significant exhibition on Teotihuacan in over 20 years—the last was 1993’s “Teotihuacan: Art from the City of the Gods,” also at the de Young—it will feature over 200 artifacts and artworks from the site, with loans from major collections in Mexico as well as recently excavated objects. Many of the works included have never been shown in the US before. There will be ceramics, monumental sculptures, and ritual objects.
