Exhibition continues through June 15, in the Rubín & Paula Torres Center Gallery
Curated by Rebecca D. Meyers
This is an exhibition sure to delight the whole family, so bring the kids. Over 100 objects from the Museum's Permanent Collection will explore the depiction of animals in Mexico from pre-Cuauhtémoc
cultures and folklore to the contemporary issue of habitat loss. Often symbolic, but more likely, objects of pure whimsy, these pieces are a part of a cross section of the Permanent Collection. Animals appear most frequently in the Museum's arte popular (Folk art) collection, but also turn up in prints, paintings,
photographs, vintage calendars, textiles, and ancient artifacts. This colorful, fun show will perk up the winter blahs and help folks further appreciate the fanciful, furry, feathered and sometimes four-footed friends with whom we share existence. |
