The Museum of Latin American Art (molaa) is dedicated to collecting and exhibiting contemporary art of Latin America from 1950 to the present. The molaa permanent collection was established in 1996 and was based on 150 works of art on loan from the Robert Gumbiner Foundation Collection. Since then, the molaa collection has grown through the generous donations of artists and collectors and now embraces a more comprehensive representation of art from Latin America.
The current exhibition A Bridge to the Americas: The molaa Permanent Collection presents more than 100 works of art that reflect the diversity, individuality and universality of the Latin American artists. The Long Gallery presents the art by country and the Permanent Collection Gallery presents the art by theme. Over the year, three of the four themes —Mestizaje (a blending) of Identity, Urban and Rural Landscapes, Political History and Spiritual and Religious Practices— are presented in the Permanent Collection Gallery. Each January and July molaa inaugurates one of the themes, rotating one for another. |

A rising star of the contemporary art world, Luna’s work deals in part with the duality of Cuban and Mexican heritage.
