1613-1945, El Museo Del Barrio in Collaboration with the New York Historical Society
Exhibition Review: NUEVA YORK: 1613-1945, el museo del barrio in collaboration with the New York Historical Society Susanna Temkin, Ph.D. Student, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University In the fall of 2009, el museo del barrio inaugurated its recently renovated galleries with the critically praised exhibition Nexus New York. A year later, the Manhattan museum plays host to Nueva York: 1613-1945, a show that in both its title and geographical focus recalls the earlier exhibition. Indeed, to a certain extent, the 2010 show might be considered a prequel of sorts, for whereas Nexus New York specifically focused on the significant dialog which took place in the city between Latin American and U.S. artists from 1900 to 1945, Nueva York steps back in time to examine the broader history that made such cultural interchanges possible. Seeking to illuminate the city’s deep roots with the Spanish-speaking world, Nueva York: 1613-1945 considers an expansive date range in its exploration of the historical, political, economic, and cultural connections linking New York, Latin America, and Spain. Curated by New York Historical Society guest-curator Marci Reaven (managing director of the educationally- driven organization City Lore), along with chief historical consultant Mike Wallace [professor at City University of New York and author of the best- selling history book Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898 (1998)], the show is the result of a collaboration between el museo del barrio and its neighbor across Central Park, the New York Historical Society. Stretching from the city’s colonial past until the end of World War II, Nueva York is organized both chronologically and thematically and addresses the lives and economic interests of the city’s earliest colonists, trade networks with Spanish-America, cultural encounters during the nineteenth century, political interests in various Latin American and Caribbean independence movements, and artistic exchanges during the first half of the twentieth century.

Markovitz Dr. Susan K. Leshnoff, Advisor Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN MUSEUM PROFESSIONS Seton Hall University December 2008 Abstract As American society becomes more diverse, issues of ethnic self· consciousness are increasingly prevalent. This can be witnessed by the national expansion and development of ethnic museums. At least twenty-five museums representing different ethnicities are located in New York City alone. These museums reach out to their own constituency as a celebration of heritage and culture. In an effort to educate others and foster a greater understanding and appreciation of their culture, they also reach out to a diverse multi-cultural audience. Following suit, Jewish museums attract a diverse audience representing a variety of religions and ethnicities. Jewish Museums - A Multi-Cultural Destination explores how this audience is reached through exhibition and education initiatives.
