Name: Museo de Anthropologia
Location: Xalapa, Veracruz
Entrance Fee: 55pp
Notes: This museum is ultra modern and houses some of the giant olmec heads as well as other artifacts from the preclassic to postclassic civilizations in the state of Veracruz. You can download a tour in English onto your smartphone and scan the barcodes on the displays to get a description in very mexican accented English.

It always amazes me the realism of the Olmec figures. They look like real people rather than the more stylized figures of the later civilizations such as Toltecs or Mayans
