National Museum of Mexican Art

One of the biggest Latino cultural groups in the country is right here in Pilsen, so look no further. The National Museum of Mexican Art, formerly the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum, is a museum dedicated to the art and culture of Mexico, Latin America, and the Chicano people. Helen Valdez and Carlos Tortolero created the museum in 1982.

The structure was inaugurated on March 27, 1987, and it is situated in Harrison Park in the Pilsen section of Chicago, Illinois. The American Alliance of Museums has recognized the museum as the sole Latino museum. The museum's goal is to present Mexican culture as a whole, without borders (without borders). The museum bills itself as the biggest center for Latino culture in the country.

The museum's permanent collection includes well-known pieces created by Mexican artists as well as historical objects from Mexico. In five sections, the ongoing exhibit examines Mexico's history: Mexico before Cuauhtémoc, Mexico throughout the Colonial Period, Mexico from Independence to Revolution, Mexico from the Post-Mexican Revolution to the Present, and Mexico's Experience in the United States.
