The Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) is celebrating 20 years dedicated to modern and contemporary Latin American art. The festivities include MOLAA at Twenty: 1996–2016, the largest, most comprehensive exhibition of MOLAA's Permanent Collection ever presented. MOLAA at Twenty: 1996–2016, curated by Edward Hayes, visually traces the evolution and growth of the Museum's collection, beginning with works from Founder Dr. Robert Gumbiner's personal collection of modern and contemporary Latin American art and integrating acquisitions made over the past two decades. MOLAA at Twenty: 1996–2016, drawn from over 1,600 works of art from more than 20 countries, will fill the Museum's galleries through the end of the year with a rotation of the artwork planned in July. The exhibition is divided into areas that showcase the breadth and depth of MOLAA's collection and include: Mexico, Geometric Abstraction, Modern Masters, Contemporary Cuba, Printmaking, Contemporary Photography and New Directions.
