The first floor is dedicated to the joint expeditions of Tony Halik and Elżbieta Dzikowska, mainly to Mexico and Guatemala. They were fascinated by the scope and achievements of pre-Columbian civilizations, as well as the crafts of contemporary ethnic groups living in the territory of the ancient Mesoamerica, especially, the Maya culture. The room is filled with multi-coloured fabrics (mainly women’s garments, so-called huipils) originating from various villages in Guatemala, as well as several Mexican pieces. Women’s outfits are particularly fascinating, due to the pre-Columbian pedigree recognisable in their cuts, as well as their ornamental patterns. However, the most rare objects of this section of the exhibition are included in the pre-Columbian collection of nine ceramic figures of the so-called Western Mexican cultures (which developed between 200 BC and 800 AD) which originated from Jalisco and Colima, two Mexican states.
