1502 - Moctezuma becomes the last elected ruler of the Aztec Empire.
At his capital Tenochtitlan he gathers artists and craftsmen who create some of the greatest
masterpieces in the world.
A commander of great armies, he consolidates an empire which stretches from the Gulf of Mexico to
the Pacific Coast.
Moctezuma is the divine mediator between his people and the gods. With rituals and offerings he
maintains the cosmic order and ensures the daily rising of the sun.
His world is unrivalled. And then, strangers come…the Spanish conquistadores.
Come to the British Museum to rediscover the lost world of Moctezuma.
