The Mexican Museum has an impressive permanent collection of over 16,000 art objects that it has proudly assembled over the past 40 years. Since its inception in 1973, the non-profit museum has been committed to collecting and exhibiting works of art that comprehensively span the history of cultures and people that have been a part of the history of Mexico and broader Latin America from the northern regions of South America to the southwestern regions of the United States.

​

The museum’s collection is comprehensive, educational, and socially relevant as it presents the borderless cultural influences of Mexico and Latin America throughout the Americas and around the world. The collection has quality representative pieces from Pre-Hispanic ancient Americas, the Spanish Colonial Americas period, and into modern and contemporary times in Mexico, Latin America and the United States, and includes folk art throughout this rich history.
