Two museums in Mexico have opened exhibitions displaying more than 1,500 pre-Hispanic and historical artefacts, a large number of them recovered from abroad.
Collectors and traffickers have smuggled these ancient treasures out of the country, although a law passed in 1972 has made it illegal.
But some of the foreign collectors returned many sculptures, vessels and other items voluntarily.
