'Snapshot' exhibits

Mexican traditional costume. This was on display on March 1, 2008, as part of the Viva Mexico day in the Tap Your Toes Around the World series of events. Traditional Mexican footwear and artifacts were on display until April 3, 2008.

'Snapshot' exhibits are occasional themed displays, on view for one or more weeks. Smaller and less formal than an exhibition, they consist of three to ten display cases, and are usually in the lobby and/or lower (B1) level.

We may feature items from our own collection, or loaned items, or both, in a 'Snapshot' exhibit. Keep an eye out for these little tastes of something new during your visit.
