20th Century Italian Artists at MAHG, Leon until January 31

My visits to Leon run the gamut, this time from eating tacos in a place I like a block off Lopez Mateos, walking to the art museum, and afterward stopping off at Costco.

The shopping bag even had the lettering we are used to seeing

Constance prompted me to watch for the loom

Above and beside, two toys I saw at the exhibit Mexican Toy Exhibit just ended, but they should all be back on permanent display at San Miguel's Toy Museum by now.

Below, a sampling of the variety in the Italian
exhibit: one of two striking fabric sculptures made of painted canvas; an embroidered geometric "painting" made up of tiny stitches; and of course, other paintings in many different styles, of which the horses by de Chirico shown are so different from the architectural-surreal painting we usually see reproduced.

Informative texts to guide the viewer through the exhibit.  

This exhibit of 20th century art from Italy is fascinating for showing how art crosses borders, both in themes and techniques. Highly recommended if you are going to Leon on a weekday as the traffic is slow and sidewalks crowded with the annual Fair in full swing.

Children's Room for classes (no one there on the weekend)
Note the enlargement of the needlework design

By the way, the fully accessible museum building and galleries are world class. The bookstore there has piles of good reads and picture books in Spanish.
