ARTS & CULTURE

Our Mission

Museo De Las Americas is dedicated to educating our community through collecting, preserving, interpreting, and exhibiting the diverse Latin American arts and cultures, from ancient to contemporary, through innovative exhibitions and programming. Our emphasis on Latin American culture allows us to present a rich tapestry of experience and creativity to all visitors.

FOCUS ON EXHIBITIONS

We present three to five exhibitions in the main gallery each year which highlight the unique cultures and experiences of Latin Americans all around the globe. We often partner with curators and community organizations, and provide the space and support for creative people to express their visions. 

Our two smaller galleries, The Tragen Folk Art Gallery and the Gallery of the Ancient Americas, each feature items from our private collections and are curated by Museo’s Curatorial department.

FOCUS ON PROGRAMS

All of our exhibitions come with a suite of programs intended to engage the hands, the eyes and the brain in deeper conversations about each exhibition’s topic.
