About / La exposición

This exhibition examines The Latino Museum’s founding years from 1995 to 2000 and how it celebrated historical, artistic and cultural contributions of Latinos in the United States. As the only Latino and Chicana/o museum in Southern California, its mission was to promote and enhance public awareness of Latinismo culture. Featured in the exhibition are original works of art in addition to archival materials from CSU Channel Islands’ John Spoor Broome Library Unique Collections. The Latino Museum's legacy continues to shape and sustain present and future communities.
