Exhibits
Visitor favorite La Musidora is back for another year. Take part in this interactive outdoor art installation this summer on Martin Plaza, located near the museum’s Hamilton Building entrance.
La Musidora is a combination of the Spanish words “la música” (music) and “la mecedora” (rocking chair). Make musical sounds by gently rocking colorfully woven chairs in tandem. This 90-foot artwork, designed by Héctor Esrawe and Ignacio Cadena of the interdisciplinary design firm Esrawe + Cadena in Mexico City, seats a total of 20 visitors at a time.
