This major
exhibition explores Aztec civilisation through the divine,
military and political role of the last elected ruler,
Moctezuma II (reigned AD 1502–1520).
From his capital
in Tenochtitlan (the site of modern Mexico City), Moctezuma’s
empire comprised much of modern highland Mexico, stretching
from the Gulf Coast to the Pacific Ocean. His power was
reflected in the splendour of his capital’s architecture,
his command of the prestigious Jaguar and Eagle military
orders, and his sacrificial rituals to the gods. Moctezuma’s
world was unrivalled, and this remained so until the devastating
arrival of strangers – Cortés and his Spanish
fleet.
The legacy
of this tumultuous event and the semi-mythical status
of Moctezuma will be reassessed through the display of
imposing stone sculptures and rare gold and turquoise
objects, many of which will be seen for the first time
in the UK.
Rediscover
the world of the Aztecs and trace the foundation of modern
Mexico in the British Museum’s next major exhibition
on great rulers.
Experience
the extreme
Step into an environment where the walls, bar, tables
and even your own personal glass is made of the purest
ice.
ABSOLUT ICEBAR
LONDON is the UK's only permanent bar made of ice and
is kept at minus 5 degress all year round. Everything
inside is made out of crystal clear ice harvested especially
from the frozen Torne River in Jukkasjarvi, Northern Sweden.
ABSOLUT ICEBAR
is operated in 40 minute time slots and you will be given
a designer thermal cape with a hood to keep you warm during
your visit.
Every six months
the bar is completely re-designed with a brand new theme
to keep the ice and the design looking fresh.
