The largest recovery of cultural property that had been illegally removed from churches and archaeological sites in the country, some for the last nine years, was unveiled today by officials of the National Institute of Anthropology and History and the Attorney General the Republic (PGR). These are 14 colonial religious art works and 144 original pre-Columbian pieces, plus another 36 that are false.
A selection of cultural artifacts rescued was presented to the media at the National School of Conservation, Restoration and Museology, which specified that the restitution of these objects of inestimable historical value, was made after three searches so far in 2010 in Jalisco, Tlaxcala and Mexico City.
