Having cleared that up, I'll take you on another art/architecture adventure, this time to the head offices of CitiBanamex. Art and architecture in a bank? Yes, this is a very old bank originally created by merging the Banco Nacional Mexicano and Banco Mercantil Mexicano in 1884 located in another one of those beautiful old colonial buildings downtown.
In it they display a large collection of art from colonial times to the present as well as temporary exhibits. The building itself is a work of art as most of them are in that part of town.
The temporary exhibit was of Nacimientos, literally "nativity scenes" which are very popular in Mexico and seem to often include more than just the usual.
This one was created entirely from corn husks
On to the art and architecture in the next post.
