National Museum of Mexican Art

The National Museum of Mexican Art will use its grant to purchase and install new storage furniture in which to properly rehouse the museum’s folk art collection. Represented in this collection of more than 700 objects are items indigenous to Mexico such as amate (hand-made bark paper), papier-mâché or cartoneria (an ephemeral form of papier-mâché used for festivals and holiday celebrations), and extremely brittle ceramics.
