Sixty Years, 60 Photos: A tribute to the National Museum of Anthropology on its 60th anniversary

It is a comparative ethnological study between ancient and current Mexico, between the Mexico that is exhibited in the majestic rooms of the Museum and the Mexico that is experienced today in the streets of the country. This conjunction defines the essence of being Mexican.

The talents of Tania Franco Klein, Gustavo García-Villa, Luvia Lazo, Enrique Leyva, Karla Lisker and Manuel Zuñiga are reflected in the photographic series that they developed based on an analysis of who we are, who we were and who we Mexicans will be in the next sixty years, resulting in a sharp and delicate aesthetic vision emanating from the Museum as the main source of inspiration.

Thanks to the commitment and dedication of the Board of Trustees of the National Museum of Anthropology, the project will be exhibited in this public gallery. Thousands of Mexicans will be able to enjoy it and remember the fond moments lived in this emblematic cultural space designed by architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez in 1964.

With a curatorial text by journalist and communications specialist Guillermo Osorno, the exhibition “Sixty Years, 60 Photos” will officially open to the public at 12:00 p.m. on October 4.
