Museum of Anthropology

I was really impressed by this museum in Xalapa. As I was wandering thru the massive building, I was thinking to myself that I really feel at home in a good museum, I feel very peaceful and relaxed and just like my brain is calmly absorbing all sorts of good stuff.

For me, the highlights of the museum were the huge Olmec heads, between 2,000 and 3,000 years old and over 8 feet tall!! The pictures don't do them justice, they were really impressive.

Some of the exhibits (including a couple of the Olmec heads) were set in terraces with tropical plants and beautiful flowers. I tried to capture the amazing purple and orange flower in a foto, but it just doesn't even come close to how breathtaking it was...
