For today's virtual travelogue, let's travel to Mexico to visit some Mayan archaeological sites and the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City!

First, let's learn more about the Mayan civilization with Google Arts & Culture. They have an extensive collection of works from the British Museum called Exploring the Maya World here: https://artsandculture.google.com/project/exploring-the-maya-world. Included in this is a virtual tour of Palenque: https://artsandculture.google.com/story/KAVRQqTjRmLjwQ.

Then we'll visit Chichén Itzá! This site is a large complex of Mayan ruins on the Yucatán Peninsula. National Geographic has a short video tour here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJCrrTk-dLQ. You can take a virtual 360 degree tour from Air Pano here: https://www.airpano.com/360photo/Chichen-Itza-Mexico/.

Finally, we'll check out the National Museum of Anthropology with a virtual tour from Google Arts & Culture: ​https://artsandculture.google.com/streetview/museo-nacional-de-antropolog%C3%ADa-m%C3%A9xico/CwEMAX5agejbLg. ​​You can also get a closer look at items in their collection here: https://artsandculture.google.com/partner/museo-nacional-de-antropologia-mexico.
