The Las Cruces Museum of Art in New Mexico will open a new exhibit exploring the culture of Michoacán, Mexico, featuring a collection of vibrant and playful masks. The masks, which are often worn by dancers during religious holidays, depict various figures including devils, holy men, celebrities, and others, sometimes in a satirical vein.
