Description

"Exhibition dedicated to royal historiographer of the Indies and Americanist Boturini, who was the first collector of archaeological objects, assembling a vast collection of paintings, maps, manuscripts and native codices and a passionate researcher of the Virgin of Guadalupe. The exhibition presents colonial New Spain documents, reproductions of European documents, maps, books and art pieces (paintings, sculpture, silversmith and prints) from the holdings museums of the Basilica, and private collections in a museographic project that reveals the historical context of a man described by curator historian Giorgio Antei as "the romantic traveler" and whose extraordinary collection was neglected for years and later divided and ended in Europe, United States or lost" (text supplied by vendor).
