About Parque-Museo La Venta, Villahermosa
La Venta was an Olmec ceremonial center built on Mexico's Gulf Coast around 900 BCE, serving as a hub of early Mesoamerican religion and art. Its colossal stone heads and monuments were later moved to this park museum in Villahermosa to protect them from oil development. The site marked the Olmecs as one of Mesoamerica's earliest complex civilizations.
