Alan Glass: Surprising Find
This exhibition, perfect for the weekend, presents the works of Glass, a prominent Canadian artist and a key figure of the surrealist movement, who, residing in Mexico, found the source of both artistic and spiritual inspiration he needed.

The exhibition extends through the Siqueiros, Camarena, Orozco and Tamayo rooms.
