"Founded in the late 1960s by the artist Raphael Montañez Ortiz and a group of Puerto Rican artists who were fed up with the lack of representation in traditional museums, Museo del Barrio is an intimate space that celebrates the artwork and impact of Latino culture in the United States. With 6,500 objects ranging from historic Taino artifacts to contemporary paintings, sculpture, and photography, the collection is a comprehensive look at work by artists of Latin American and Caribbean heritage." - Andrea Whittle, Charlie Hobbs
