With bouncing rubber balls made from tree sap, the Indigenous people of ancient Mexico created a sport that came to be known by the Aztecs as ullamalitzli. As in soccer today, players were forbidden to use their hands, striking the ball only with their hips and knees. Join us for a Spanish-language gallery tour exploring how ullamalitzli was played, how players prepared for the game, and what the sport meant to the people of ancient Mesoamerica.

These tours are free and open to the public. Learn more: https://artmuseum.princeton.edu/exhibitions-events/events/2026/art-mesoamerican-ballgame-2026-06-21
