Mexico 2018 - Cervantes/Guanajuato

Guanajuato has had a relationship with Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote, since the mid-twentieth century when short plays called entremesis, written by Cervantes, were performed around town in plazas and parks.  This small initiative became popular, got state funding and soon turned into the Festival Internacional Cervantino, a three week long festival with thousands of performers from around the world.  So, naturally, there is a Cervantes museum there and gallery containing a lot of Don Quixote/Cervantes related artwork as well as some temporary shows. 

In addition to the art museum, the space is used every evening for different cultural events, e,g, Mondays are free movie nights, Thurs is music, there are talks on other nights, and so forth.
