You may remember my post from last October about the "alebrije" parade. The parade is sponsored by the Mexico City's Museum of Popular Arts, and prizes are awarded for the best "alebrijes". However, I have never been able to find online which ones were winners.
Last Thursday, I went to the Museum of Popular Arts to see a couple of special exhibitions. There were several "alebrijes" from past years on display in the museum courtyard, and at the entrance was the 1st place winner from the 2022 parade.
I remember this winged creature from the parade, although at the time it was not my favorite. I recalled that its translucent wings reminded me of stained glass.
Looking closely at it, and observing the attention to detail, I have to say that it is certainly deserving of an award.
I just wish that the other prize winners had been on display.
That museum is one of my favorites in the world and that is an exquisite prize winner! Can you imagine how long it would take to complete? Wow!
ReplyDeleteYes, that museum is a favorite of mine also, and whenever I play "tour guide" to friends visiting Mexico City, it is one of the places that I take them.
