Join us for the opening of our newest outdoor installation, Los Trompos designed by Mexican artists Héctor Esrawe and Ignacio Cadena! Inspired by the popular children’s toy and Mexican artisans’ textiles, Los Trompos consists of six colorfully woven, life-size spinning tops located in the Museum Park. Children are invited to team up to rotate the tops and climb inside for a spin, encouraging joyful play and collaboration with others. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place in the morning followed by an all-day, free community celebration in the park with related art-making activities and food trucks.
Please note that there is a county-wide heat advisory in effect. As a result, we will have designated “cool zones” throughout the Museum and some spaces are subject to closure for the safety purposes.
