“After two decades of steady growth in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood, the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum is celebrating its 20th anniversary by changing its name to the National Museum of Mexican Art.

The switch is intended to reflect the museum’s status as the nation’s largest Latino arts organization and the only Latino museum accredited by the American Association of Museums, along with the fact that it now has annual attendance of more than 200,000 from more than 60 countries.”
