Good News!

The Covarrubias 'Pagaent of the Pacific' murals (5 of the 6) have been restored and are on display.

They were exhibited until last month in Mexico's National Institute of History and Anthropology. They were then moved to Monterrey, Nuevo León, to be displayed (until January, 2008) in an exhibit of American migration, at the Universal Forum of Cultures.

That is perhaps an 8 hour drive, to those of you who live in southern Texas!

I do not know where they will be shown after this .... perhaps a return visit to San Francisco, since the initial museum exhibit was titled 'Miguel Covarrubias in Mexico and San Francisco'

The following links to a nice article on Covarrubias and the murals....
