Felipe Solís Olguín

Felipe R. Solís Olguín (18 December 1944 – 23 April 2009)[1] was a Mexican archaeologist, anthropologist, and historian as well as curator and Director of the National Anthropology Museum from 2000 until his death[2] on April 23, 2009.

Solís became a professor at the Postgraduate Mesoamerican Studies program at the Philosophy and Literature Faculty of the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 1997 and served on Academic Council of the program from 1998. He also taught at the National School of Professional Studies in Acatlan and at the National School of Anthropology and History and the National School of Restoration, Conservation and Museography. Solís was a guest lecturer at the Universidad de Extremadura in Spain and at the Universidad de Rancagua in Chile.[3]

Initial reports of his death by some media outlets speculated that Solís Olguín had possibly been a victim of swine flu.[4] However authorities revealed that the cause of death was complications from a pre-existing cardiac condition, unrelated to swine flu.[5] He had escorted U.S. President Barack Obama on a tour of the museum a week before his death.[6][7]

Publications

During his career, he published almost 200 articles and authored or co-authored about 30 books.[8]
