This site provides information about the Harald Wagner collection of Teotihuacan murals, the largest and most important outside of Mexico. The mural fragments from the ancient Mexican city of Teotihuacan are remarkable for their quality condition and iconographic breadth. Secretly removed from their site in the 1960s, they were left to the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco in a surprise bequest by Harald Wagner, a San Francisco art lover who had spent years living in Mexico.
