‘Moctezuma Aztec Ruler’ Exhibition at The British Museum
 
On 20th January the Preparatory School visited the ‘Moctezuma Aztec Ruler’ Exhibition at The British Museum.   In order to prepare  students for the visit multimedia presentations were given during class time.   During our visit students completed worksheets which covered topics such as religion, housing, trade, warriors, writing and the calendar.  

Exhibits included items of jewellery, crockery, religious artefacts and carved stone decoration from the Palace of Moctezuma. Many of the stone artefacts feature carved decoration and the jewellery and religious artefacts predominantly feature turquoise and gold.  

The visit was both enjoyable and informative, providing a good basis for further study during the school term.
