Mexican Museum still searching for a home – San Francisco
Tagged: California, Chicano, Mexico, San Francisco
Thirteen years ago, San Francisco’s Mexican Museum unveiled the model for the handsome new home it planned to build on Jessie Square across from Yerba Buena Gardens: a terraced six-story structure clad in rough red stone, designed by Mexico’s foremost architect, Ricardo Legorreta.
That signature building promised to raise the profile of the grassroots museum whose splendid collection of Mexican and Chicano art – about 14,000 objects encompassing pre-Columbian, Mexican folk art, modern and contemporary works – could not be displayed adequately in its cramped quarters at Fort Mason.”*
