The museum’s central garden was designed to reflect the Toltec vision of the earthly plane. According to the Historia Tolteca-Chichimeca codex, the terrestrial world was divided into four cardinal directions, each upheld by a sacred cosmic tree.

• The east, associated with the color red, was supported by the ceiba tree.
• The south by the maguey manso (gentle agave).
• The west by the Izote palm.
• And the north by the mezquite tree.

These trees, which still grow naturally in the region today, once symbolized the sacred anchors of the earthly realm in Toltec cosmology. Together, they evoke a worldview in which the natural landscape was deeply intertwined with spiritual and cosmic order.
