Museum tour: a way tto see Posada's work without making a trip to Aguascalientes

The meeting point is at 6pm at the galeria across from El Midi in Casa Cuatro. I'm sure the tour will head to the Museo del Pueblo which is hosting four exhibits in Jose Guadalupe Posada's honor.

                                                Satirist Posada not one to strive for political correctness

Did you know that the printmaker lived in Leon for more than ten years until the flood of 1888 washed out the taller where he worked, leading him to move to Mexico City. Undoubtedly the perfect place for graphic social commentary well understood by the many Mexicans of the time who could not read.

I don't know how long the exhibits will be at the museums.Recommended for art buffs, graphic art buffs and history buffs.
