spanish colonial art

North Building, Level 4

There is no other museum in the Americas where visitors can compare stylistic movements from all the major artistic centers of Latin America. The museum's collection of Spanish Colonial paintings, silver, santos, and other art objects represents much of Latin America, including Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, and the southwestern United States.
