Washington Smithsonian soon to get Latin-American art gallery
The institution has announced that it will be opening the Molina Family Latino Gallery in 2020, named in honour of the donors who gave $10m to the project.
At 4,500 square-feet, the vast bilingual gallery will open its doors with an exhibition entitled "Making Home: Latino Stories of Community and Belonging".
Smithsonian Latino Center director Eduardo Díaz said: “We’re thrilled to finally be realizing the dream of having a Latino gallery at the Smithsonian, but we recognize that our job continues outside of the museum’s walls." More information via ArtForum.
