Serrano Celebrates 40 Years of El Museo

"There is much to be proud of when we speak of El Museo: the beautiful physical space it now occupies; the extraordinary talent it continues to attract; the superb quality of its collections; and the professionalism and dedication of its staff," said Serrano. "But for me what stands out most about El Museo is that it has never stopped growing and evolving. Much like the community in which it makes its home, El Museo continues to reinvent itself for new waves of residents and new generations of New Yorkers."

El Museo was founded in 1969 as a response to the underrepresentation of Puerto Rican and other Latino artists in New York's mainstream museums. Today, it is New York's leading Latino cultural institution. Saturday's celebration will feature the Grand Opening of El Museo's newly renovated building. The event is free and open to the public.
