Mexico: Mineral Stories

Minerals occupy a central place in the history of Mexico, from the Olmecs of 5,000 years ago to today's researchers. Sacred and functional for the civilizations of Mesoamerica, minerals were then coveted by the Spanish conquerors. Since then, they have become a source of industrial and economic development for Mexicans, while remaining objects of research for scientists and aesthetic contemplation for amateurs.

Combining mineralogy and archaeology, these "Mineral Stories" are divided into eight presentations: anthropological and sacred, historical and political, mining and social, scientific and aesthetic. Archaeologists and mineralogists from the Sorbonne University Alliance have joined forces to bring together pieces that highlight all aspects of this complex relationship with the Earth, throughout human history.

Curators

  • François Cuynet: Director of the Research Center on Pre-Hispanic America (CeRAP) - Sorbonne University
  • Jean-Claude Boulliard: Director of the mineral collection - Sorbonne University
  • François Gendron: Head of the American collections of the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle and the Institut de Paléontologie Humaine.
