Viva Mexico! March 9, 2010

In celebration of Mexico's 200 years of independence and the 100th Anniversary of its Revolution, Mingei International Museum is collaborating with the Central Cultural de Tijuana to exhibit an important collection of folk art housed there by the federal government. Among the 150 objects that will be on loan for nearly a year are a set of glazed and painted plates commemorating the heroes of Mexico made twenty-five years ago for the 175th Anniversary of Independence. Among other distinctive objects is a monumental Tree of Life in painted clay.
