Smithsonian American Art Museum
Video of the Month
 
We opened the major exhibition Our America: The Latino Presence in American Art at the end of last month. Our art handlers and conservators were kept busy installing a number of complicated, large-scale objects, including An Ofrenda for Dolores del Rio by Amalia Mesa-Bains. Take a peek behind-the-scenes in this time-lapse video that shows museum staff installing this featured artwork, and see more photos in our Flickr set.
