'An excellent way to blend art and palenthology, the "Paleontologia Fantastica II" exhibit presents more than 50 pieces by sculptor Alberto Meillon. Using different natural materials, Meillon creates fantastical animals with clear links to prehistoric species, accompanying each creation with explanatory, sometimes openly poetic texts. Whimsically named, cleverly put together and original, the sculptures are well-worth a visit. Museo de Paleontologia de Guadalajara (Av. Dr. R. Michel 520). Open to the public until May 5, the exhibit can be viewed Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.' - Photo By Farid Sanchez

'The Icelandic president was not the only one representing his country in Mexico this week: Sportacus, the slightly-above-average but super-healthy hero of the popular Icelandic children's show Lazytown, is visiting Walmarts in the country to promote the live Lazytown show in Mexico City and Guadalajara. Sportacus encourages children to eat "sports candy" (his word for fruits and vegetables), and head outside instead of just sitting indoors with video games or eating junk food. Tickets are available for shows from May 15 through 18 at Teatro Galerias. The TV version of the show has become a smash hit, broadcasting in over 100 countries, and in more than a dozen languages.' - Photo By CR Files
