This gallery of the ancient Americas includes a large collection of artifacts from West Mexico. About 2000 years ago, powerful rulers began building large ceremonial centers in the region comprising the modern states of Nayarit, Jalisco and Colima. Unlike their peers in other ancient Mexican cultures, they constructed elaborate subterranean shaft and chamber tombs for their ancestors.

You can't see them from down here, but the roof over your head is blanketed in 493 solar panels. Together these panels produce nearly 100,000 watts of electricity per day, which is used to power the Chris Burden artwork, Urban Light.

You’re now in the Resnick Pavilion, the largest purpose-built, naturally-lit, open-plan museum space in the world. The unique roofline allows even, natural light into the space, ideal for viewing art and reducing energy consumption while the layout allows considerable flexibility for exhibition design and installation.
