Located on the third floor of the MoMA, “Crafting Modernity: Design in Latin America, 1940-1980,” offers a look into the evolution of design in six Latin American countries, particularly in the post-war era of modernization.
The exhibition is laid out as the interior of someone’s house, with over 100 objects including furniture, textiles, ceramics, photography and much more, from both the MoMA’s collections across the world, including Europe and Latin America. As you walk through the exhibition and immerse yourself in these objects and their history, you will find larger political, social and cultural themes that examine modernity through design and the domestic sphere. The MoMA is another museum completely free of charge to all NYU students, and the exhibition will be closing on Nov. 10.

1000 Fifth Ave.
The Met’s new exhibition, “Mexican Prints at the Vanguard” is open until Jan. 5, 2025. This exhibition uses pieces from The Met’s collections and is located on the second floor in galleries 691-693. The pieces showcase the intricate and rich tradition of Mexican printmaking — the longest tradition in Latin America — from the 18th century to the mid-20th century.
The collection holds over 130 works including woodcuts, lithographs and screen prints, all indicative of the artistic identity and practice of Mexican printmaking. “Mexican Prints at the Vanguard” also draws attention to how printmaking was used as a tool for disseminating social and political messages following the Mexican Revolution.
