Museo Fuego Nuevo, Archaeological museum in Iztapalapa, Mexico
The museum building features a pyramid-like structure with lateral staircases and stepped walkways that encircle the entire construction at different levels.
The museum, which opened on January 10, 1998, preserves archaeological artifacts discovered between 1997 and 1998 on the northern slope of Huizachtépetl.
The exhibition halls display ancient codex calendars, maps from 1580, and detailed models representing the lake region and the ceremony of the New Fire.
Located within Parque Nacional Cerro de la Estrella, the museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 9 AM to 6 PM with free admission.
The architectural design by David Peña incorporates informative plates about the legends of the five suns throughout the building structure.
