About Us
The Olmec civilization, which ruled parts of what is now Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean as far back as 1200 BCE, had huge, life-size heads that weighed as much as 25 tons and were carved from basalt boulders.
Now, more than 30 large-scale replicas of the heads, painted by more than 30 contemporary artists, are on display outside a library in Naperville, Ill., as part of the Olmec Trails: Culture and Legacy project, the Chicago Tribune reports.
"When the City of Naperville caught wind of the opportunity to participate, it immediately got on board and agreed to host one of the heads," says Doug Krieger, Naperville's city manager.
"Olmec Trails sculptures pay tribute to the indigenous roots of Mexican heritage as well as bring attention to the importance of public art by showcasing the immense talent and creativity of more than 30 contemporary artists from across North America."
The heads will be on display from mid-June through October.
