Spain's definitive museum of pre-Columbian and colonial American cultures, holding one of the world's finest collections of Mesoamerican artifacts including the Tudela Codex and extraordinary Mayan and Aztec pieces. It is chronically undervisited given the quality of its holdings — a genuine scandal among Madrid museum insiders. The location near the Arco de la Victoria means it requires a deliberate trip, but it rewards the effort handsomely.
