Pre-Hispanic Collection
The Alberto Fernández Ruiloba collection is made up of more than 250 pieces that were integrated into the UDEM thanks to the family's loan agreement formalized in 2018, with the intention of making it available to the community.
This collection is mainly made up of objects from Western Mexico (Nayarit, Colima, Jalisco, Zacatecas, Bajío, southern Sinaloa), particularly the Tumbas de Tiro culture; from the Gulf Coast (northern Veracruz, southern Tamaulipas and southeastern San Luis Potosí), specifically from the Huasteca, as well as ceramic and lapidary productions from other areas of Mesoamerica, such as Olmec, Teotihuacan and Mezcala. The pieces date from 2500 years ago.
