CHICAGO, ILLINOIS — The National Museum of Mexican Art (until 2006 the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum) is the largest Latino cultural organization in the United States. It is the only Latino museum in the country that is accredited by the American Association of Museums. The Museum works to stimulate and preserve knowledge and appreciation of Mexican culture, develop a significant permanent collection of Mexican art, encourage the development of Mexican artists, and provide arts education in the community. Last year it hosted 160,000 visitors from over 60 countries at its facility in the city's Pilsen neighborhood. The Museum's educational outreach programming serves over 70,000 K-12 students annually.
The MacArthur Foundation awarded National Museum of Mexican Art $315,000 between 2010 and 2013.
