Presented by Mitchell A. Codding, executive director and president, Hispanic Society Museum & Library, New York
The Hispanic Society Museum & Library’s collections of art, books, and manuscripts are unparalleled in scope and quality, addressing nearly every aspect of culture in Spain, Latin America, and Portugal. The exhibition Glory of Spain brings 200 of these treasures to Houston.
This talk shows how the vision of one man, Hispanic Society founder Archer M. Huntington, became a phenomenal resource for promoting the arts and cultures of the Hispanic world. No other institution, even in Spain, offers such a complete look at Hispanic history, art, and culture. The Hispanic Society houses more than 18,000 works of art that span the Paleolithic Age to the 20th century, and a research library with some 250,000 manuscripts and 35,000 rare books, including 250 printed before 1501.
