Join Mexic-Arte Museum and Dr. Paul Hart, PhD for a lecture on Mexican Revolutionary icon, Emiliano Zapata. In honor of Zapata’s centennial death anniversary, the Mexic-Arte Museum created an ofrenda in his honor for our annual Dia de los Muertos exhibit, along with prints from the special edition portfolio: Viva Zapata!
