Lecturer Diana Magaloni Kerpel, director of the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Mexico City, shares her research on the Florentine Codex. Created by Bernardino de Sahagún and a group of Nahua scholars between 1575 and 1577, the Florentine Codex is an encyclopedic study of Aztec culture in the wake of the 1521 Conquest of Mexico.

This lecture was presented in conjunction with the exhibition "The Aztec Pantheon and the Art of Empire" on view at the Getty Villa from March 24 through July 5, 2010.
