El Museo del Barrio New York

Once a month, El Museo del Barrio opens its doors to everyone interested in exploring the vibrancy and diversity of Latino Culture. Through free concerts, exhibitions, gallery tours, art making workshops, walking tours, film screenings, and spoken word recitals, SUPER SABADO! showcases traditions, cultural expressions, and the latest in Latino art. Save the date for our upcoming Super Sábados!

El Museo hits the street this July as it celebrates Super Sábado with a fun-filled block party for all ages. The central theme of this month is Health and  fitness, so grab your family and get ready to roll… kids should bring along their wheels—bikes, scooters, skateboards and helmets for the ride.

El Museo se muda a la calle este mes de julio, celebrando Super Sábado con una divertida fiesta callejera para todas las edades. El tema central de este  mes es la Salud y el Bienestar, ¡así que ven con toda tu familia, listos para andar!… los niños pueden traer sus bicicletas, patinetes, y cascos para  sumarse a la acción.
