Facsimiles of Five Ancient Mexican Codices on View at Cerro de Trincheras

The Cerro de Trincheras Archaeological Zone in Sonora, Mexico, is hosting the exhibition "Codices of Mexico," featuring facsimile reproductions of five pre-Hispanic and early colonial manuscripts. Organized by Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), the show runs at the site's Visitor Center through November 8, 2026, with free admission. The displayed codices include the Codex Mendoza, Tonalámatl de Aubin, Boturini Codex, De la Cruz-Badiano Codex, and Dresden Codex, offering insights into Indigenous histories, beliefs, and daily life. The exhibition also highlights the work of ancient tlacuilos—scribes and artists whose role has often been overlooked.
