Special Event – Spanish Guided Tour at the MET Cloisters: Creatures of Myth & Imagination
Come on a journey with us through the art, culture and mythology of Spain and Latin America.
Together we’ll explore the exhibition Creatures of Myth and Imagination: Europe and the Americas housed at the MET Cloisters. Guided by our Academic Director, Jorge Gallegos, we’ll practice español while admiring and analyzing over 50 pieces, including sculpture, ceramics, ivories, textiles, paintings, and metalwork.
These works depicting supernatural beings, possessing the power to transform and be transformed, provide ample insights into the values of the European and American societies that created them. After the tour, the group will go to a Dominican restaurant to have lunch and keep the Spanish conversation flowing.
