Aztec artifact exhibited in Mexico after 186 years
The Codex Azcatitlán, a 16th-century Aztec manuscript depicting the civilization's history and fall, is on display in Mexico for the first time in 186 years after being held in France's Bibliothèque Nationale since 1898. The display marks the 200th anniversary of Franco-Mexican relations, with France lending the codex to Mexico, which will return the Codex Boturini in exchange. The artifacts were exchanged after a diplomatic agreement, reflecting ongoing efforts by Mexico to recover historical objects taken abroad. The Codex Azcatitlán will be exhibited at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City.
