You may remember that In May Alejandro and I saw an excellent exhibit of the works of the artist Miguel Covarrubias at Iturbide's Palace. That exhibit is still on display, but now there are two other exhibits upstairs. Last Wednesday I went to see them.
The first one is a photographic contest of pictures taken by Mexican photographers that portray the diversity of Mexico's culture, people and geography. The exhibit is called "El México de los mexicanos III", and it is an impressive collection.
Here are some of the photographs...
