Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.

About the National Museum of Anthropology
The National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropología) is a national museum of Mexico and the largest museum in the country. It stands in Chapultepec Park, Mexico City, in the area bounded by Mahatma Gandhi Street and Paseo de la Reforma, in a wide-open natural park where Aztec emperors once spent time. Its collections hold significant pre-Columbian archaeological and anthropological artifacts, including the Stone of the Sun, also called the Aztec calendar stone, and an Aztec statue of Xochipilli. Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) manages it. It was one of several museums that President Adolfo López Mateos opened in 1964.
Rafael Mijares Alcérreca, Jorge Campuzano and Pedro Ramírez Vázquez designed the museum in 1964. The exhibition halls form a ring around a courtyard that holds a large pond and a giant square concrete umbrella roof, held up by one slim pillar. The umbrella is called el paraguas, which is Spanish for the umbrella. Gardens ring the halls, and many hold outdoor exhibits. The museum has 23 exhibition rooms, covers 79,700 m2 (almost 8 hectares) and has two floors built around the central courtyard. Construction took nineteen months.
Decorative carvings on the column that holds up the umbrella roof are by Chávez Morado. The pool in the open part of the courtyard connects to the Mexica Room, the largest exhibition hall, and symbolizes the lake origin of Aztec culture. The ground floor shows ancient and historic civilizations, while the upper floor groups archaeology with ethnography and anthropology.
