Welcome to the Aztecs at Mexicolore!
Mexicolore is a small, independent, artefact-based teaching team providing in-school workshops and teaching resources on Mexico and the Aztecs/Mexica. Since 1980 our teams have made over 2,300 visits to schools and museums throughout England. Learn more by clicking on ‘Teachers’ Page’...
“Mexicolore is the only organisation in the United Kingdom that for the last 30 years has been devoted to promoting Mexico’s Aztec heritage, presenting it in a unique and extraordinary way.” (Minister Ignacio Durán, Cultural Attaché, Mexican Embassy, UK)
“Los felicito por la excelente labor educativa que hacen en escuelas, museos y el internet. ¡Su página es, simplemente, la mejor que yo conozca!” (Dr. Leonardo López Luján, Director, Proyecto Templo Mayor, Mexico City)
In support of our team workshops on Mexico and the Aztecs in which some 180,000 children have already participated, this constantly updated, 100% educational website, based in London, offers a wealth of carefully researched information and resources on Aztec/Mexica culture, all designed to inspire, inform, intrigue and encourage serious students of the Aztecs (and ancient Mesoamerica in general) of ALL ages. Note: we receive no funding of any kind, you won’t find us on Facebook, and we carry no adverts. We’re proud of our independence!
