Soak Up Latin America's Culture in California
Earlier this summer the Museum of Latin American Art celebrated the completion of its new building which will house its expanding collection. In this new facility you will find a 1,000 square-foot gallery, an educational art studio, a film screening room and a research library.
The museum itself has only been around since 1996 and is the only museum in the western United States that exclusively features contemporary Latin American art. The permanent exhibition presents a selection of over 75 works of art reflecting the Latin American aesthetic of the blending of cultures—Indigenous, European and North American. The museum also has a growing events program including salsa classes and a travelers program which offers behind-the-scenes tours of museums, critically acclaimed exhibits, art fairs and biennials, meetings with up-and-coming artists, visits to cutting-edge galleries and architecturally interesting landmarks throughout the United States, Spanish-speaking Caribbean, Central and South America.
Molaa is open Tuesday - Sunday. Friday's are free! It is a great way to take in the Latin American art scene if you can't make your way down to Buenos Aires' MALBA.
