The museum U.S. Latinos had pictured – Museo Alameda in San Antonio
Tagged: border, Mariachi, Museo Alameda, San Antonio, TexasPosted on: April 23rd, 2007“With hot pink carpet on the sidewalk and a 600-piece mariachi band, the city swung into fiesta mode this month to welcome the nation’s largest Hispanic museum, a collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution.
Few American cities are more tied to life south of the border than San Antonio, where tourists flock to shop its Mexican markets, meander its River Walk and sip margaritas. But despite residents’ efforts, no museum here showcased Hispanic arts. The new museum, the Museo Alameda Smithsonian, or MAS – “more,” in Spanish – changes that.”
