Event Details

Step into the fascinating world of Manuel Álvarez Bravo: Collaborations” with a guided tour of the exhibition. With over 100 photographs and ephemera, “Manuel Álvarez Bravo: Collaborations” illustrates that working with others was a central part of the artist’s creative process. Manuel Álvarez Bravo is sometimes called the father of Mexican photography, but he did not reach the heights of his field on his own. He achieved his place in history through conversations and connections with some of the greatest minds of the 20th century in Mexico and abroad.

Public guided tours are offered every Saturday from 1 – 2 pm. Free; no registration required.
