THE ANZA FALCO MUSEUM OF DESIGN. The Prehispanic and the Modern Exhibition

Architecture and Nationalism in Porfirian and Revolutionary Mexico

“The Prehispanic and the Modern” analyzes the origins of a new formal identity that flourished in the cultural scene in Mexico as a consequence of the creation of a “New Nationalism” at the beginning of the 20th Century.

The exhibition extends its investigation to how these ideologies impacted the arts and influenced architectonic forms and styles in the rest of the modern world.
