Lonely Planet review for Olmec Head No 8

Near the Field Museum, the city has installed Olmec Head No 8. Over 7ft tall, it’s a copy of one of the many amazing stone carvings done by the Olmec people more than 3500 years ago in what is now the Veracruz state of Mexico. No one has been able to figure out how the Olmec carved the hard volcanic rock.
