- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 15 Nov, 2025 at 10:30 am – Sat, 15 Nov, 2025 at 11:30 am

This best-selling book reimagines the collision of cultures that was the meeting between Hernán Cortés and Moctezuma. Based on meticulous research and infused with farcical irreverence, Enrigue explores what might have happened during this fateful encounter in 1519, setting the scene for the art and culture of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, and the site of modern-day Mexico City.

The book You Dreamed of Empires by Álvaro Enrigue is available for purchase in the museum store.
