The first stop on our journey was the Museum of La Venta.  The museum contains several examples of Olmec sculpture.  I felt that the Olmec sculptures were somewhat crude compared to the elegant Mayan carving at Palenque and Copan, although I really loved the dolphin sculpture.

Here are links to great websites on the Museum of La Venta:
