Discover a rich tapestry of Mexican art in the exhibit "Mexican Roots" featured at Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. Set to open Saturday, May 4th, this exhibition presents a beautiful collection of masks and relief prints.
"We are thrilled to welcome 'Mexican Roots' to the museum, inviting our community to explore the vibrant realm of Mexican art," expressed President Regina Faden, Ph.D. "This exhibition serves as a bridge, connecting diverse artistic expressions and offering a gateway for individuals of all ages to immerse themselves in the enduring themes of masks and the traditional life that shapes the cultural tapestry of Mexico."
The exhibit unfolds a visual narrative, from the pre-Hispanic realms depicting animals, plants, and the cycle of life and death. Masks have been an integral part of Latin American traditions, with rituals, dances, and festivals featuring prominently. This tradition has deep roots dating back to pre-Columbian times.
Museum guests and non-members will be able to view the exhibit from May 4, 2024 through August 18, 2024. The exhibit is included with museum admission or membership.
