| Summary: | The Soul of Mexico: : Devotional Folk Art from the Permanent Collection Over the centuries, Mexican people created devotional art that merged different religious beliefs and practices within an enduring culture. Selections from the MAC’s permanent collections span pre-Hispanic, Spanish Colonial, and post-Revolutionary eras, illustrating Mexican cultural traditions that combine art, religion, ritual, and personal spirituality. These collections are images of faith and culture united. |
