Open-air museum of fiberglass pre-Hispanic sculpture replicas set in a sunken former clay pit.
This guide to Parque Hundido in Mexico City traces the sunken park's open-air museum of fifty-three fiberglass replicas of Olmec, Maya, Zapotec, Totonac and Huastec sculpture, installed by engineer Daniel Ríos Zertuche in 1972 with each piece colored to match the original artwork. It follows what a borough maintenance crew did to the collection in early 2019, and the questions historians and reporters raised afterward. Listen for how the color-coded paths beneath your feet still mark each civilization, one line at a time.
