So much for Museo del Barrio...

I just checked their website. The galleries are closed until July 25th.

I need to visit a museum that has at least one exhibit that is connected to Spanish/Hispanic/Latino/etc stuff.

I am going to do some research online, but I am open to suggestions.

Also, I'd rather not see art. At least, not in the sense of paintings and such. Sculptures and more modern stuff, I could be okay with.

Wherever I am going, people are welcome to come along. It will be on Tuesday afternoon. What time depends on how long it will take me to get there from downtown. (1:30 is a decent estimate, though.)

Go to the Hispanic Society of America (Broadway and West 155th Street) and look at their sculptures or jewelry or textile collections. They're very nice people -- I studied a fifteenth-century manuscript at their library once.

I just spent half an hour searching online - looking at what exhibitions all the different museums have, and so far, that seems to be the only viable option I have found.

Thanks for confirming that it is a good place to go. It is hard to tell sometimes from an online description.

Ah, i see. About a twenty-minute walk from where i live and conduct most of my activity (180s). No reason not to come. Keep me posted.
