Alibrijes Valner
Since 2017, The Mexican Museum has partnered with the New Cholula Regional Museum in Puebla, Mexico to exhibit one of the largest collections of Alebrijes by the Linares family artisans, from the Gregorio Valner Art Collection.
"The Mexican Museum is proud to honor the inauguration of the Regional Museum of Cholula. Gifted to us through the tremendous generosity of respected art collector Gregorio Valner, these alebrijes are priceless examples of our Permanent Collection of over 16,500 art objects, reflecting Mexican, Chicano, and Latin American art from Pre-Hispanic times to the present. The Mexican Museum and the Regional Museum of Cholula share a common purpose: to celebrate the incomparable beauty, character, and creativity of our heritage with the world."
- Andrew Kluger, Chairman of the Board of The Mexican Museum.

Construyendo Puentes en epoca de Muros: Arte Chicano/Mexicano de Los Angeles a Mexico
This exhibit brings a multigenerational selection of works by Chicano and Latino artists from Southern California, all of whom are of Mexican heritage. The exhibit examines how these artists explore their cultural hybridity through five significant themes: Rebel Diamonds from the Sun, Imagining Paradise, Outsiders in their Own Home, Mapping Identity, and Cruising the Hyphenate. Simultaneously, in widening the lens of how Chicano and Latino art is viewed beyond its strict geographical home, the exhibit illustrates these artists’ inexorable ties to Mexico and how they transcend singular identity and borders.
Artists: Roberto de La Rocha, Gilbert “Magu” Lujan, Frank Romero, Patrick Martinez, Johnny “Kmndz” Rodriguez, Jose Ramirez, Enrique Castrejon, Judy Baca, Donna Dietch, Carlos Almaraz, Gil Garcetti, Ana Serrano, Shizu Saldamando, Gary Garay, Ramiro Gomez, Einar And Jamex de la Torre, Viviana “Viva” Paredes, Man One, Eloy Torrez, Patssi Valdez, Roberto Gil de Montes, Gronk, Yolanda Gonzalez, Judithe Hernandez, Linda Vallejo, Gabriela Ruiz, John Valadez, And Leticia Maldonado.
