Latin American Art / Arte Latinoamericano
Charles Street, Second Floor
Latin American Art / Arte Latinoamericano presents artworks from the museum’s expansive collection of art from South, Central, and North America and the Caribbean in one contiguous space for the first time in the museum’s history. Encompassing works from 40 cultures, spanning more than four millennia, the beautifully reimagined North Court galleries—renovated for the first time in 40 years for this permanent exhibition—create a space for visitors to engage with the collection through bilingual materials.
Latin American Art / Arte Latinoamericano is accompanied by the publication of The Spirit Within: Art and Life in Latin America. This volume examines how, for people in the Indigenous Americas, materials had and continue to have a life of their own.
