Mexico is attempting to halt a German auction of over 70 Pre-Colombian artefacts, which are designated as national heritage, scheduled for September 21 in Munich. The move comes amid controversy surrounding the future of Mexico's most significant collection of works by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera at the Museo Dolores Olmedo, set to reopen in 2026.
