CMC marks the U.S. debut of over 300 stunning artifacts from the ancient Maya civilization, revealing how they lived, how their civilization continues on today and how their innovations continue to impact our daily lives.
Innovation was born in the jungles of Guatemala.
Immerse yourself in the genius of the Maya – early disrupters living in cities of stone carved into the rainforest. By studying the stars they developed a calendar more accurate than any other in the world. Their discovery of the number zero opened the door for advanced mathematics. Rubber balls were essential to Maya sports centuries before the “discovery” of vulcanized rubber. And they introduced the world to chocolate. Theirs was a civilization of astronomers, mathematicians, inventors and gods.
For the first time in the United States, the mysteries of the Maya come to life. Through over 300 artifacts discover how the Maya live on today – in their inventions that continue to shape our daily lives and in the millions who carry on the Maya tradition in language and lineage.
Unearth a world of gods and innovators.
