[michael ruggeri]

The Aztec World Lecture Series
Presented by The Field Museum and Northwestern University

Explore the grandeur and sophistication of one of history's greatest  
civilizations—the Aztec Empire. Find out how a community that began in  
the middle of a lake eventually became the capital of an empire whose  
ingenuity, artistry, and social customs can still be seen in the  
present day.

The Field Museum has assembled 6 experts on the topic of the Aztec  
Empire for an exclusive lecture series that will provide a rare  
perspective on the legacy of the Aztecs. The lecture series will cover  
topics ranging from the role of women in Aztec society to the Aztec's  
connection to the Chicano movement in the United States.

Trace the remarkable history and heritage of the Aztecs at The Field  
Museum.
