Back in 1975 Rodriguez managed to start his project with a grant from the San Francisco Foundation and other small contributors. His first efforts, towards what is now going to be the largest Mexican-Latino collection in the United States, consisted of a two-gallery space at Folsom and 14th streets, where he intended to present and preserve the arts and crafts he fell in love with while living and travelling through Mexico.<br \/>\nIn 2001, the self-taught abstract artist Peter Rodriguez, decided to move the museum to its current quarters at Fort Mason Centre for Arts &amp; Culture. However, as the collection grew he recognised the need for a cultural space dedicated to the vast Latino and Mexican culture, and that development became his life-long goal. His niece Irene Christopher, once said in an interview: \u201cMy uncle worked tirelessly, and with passion and drive, to personally demonstrate that, as a Mexican American, we can achieve any dream by ourselves\u201d.<br \/>\nWith 39% of San Francisco\u2019s population identifying as latino, the museum\u2019s board hopes to help educate second- and third-generation Chicano and Latino children about their heritage. Now more than ever, projects like the Mexican Museum are vital for the existing Latino communities in the United States, ensuring that culture diversity thrives and lives on.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>The new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mexicanmuseum.org\" target=\"_blank\">Mexican Museum<\/a>, designed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ten-arquitectos.com\/nosotros\" target=\"_blank\">Enrique Norten (Ten Arquitectos)<\/a>, will open its doors with a Frida Kahlo exhibition in spring 2019<\/strong> \n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world-class institution is set to open tis doors in 2019 with a Frida Kahlo show<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34763,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11856,139],"tags":[38,3905,5185,5186,5187,5188,5189,5190,5191,5192],"class_list":["post-34755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sleek-art","category-art","tag-art","tag-culture","tag-enrique-norten","tag-frida-kahlo","tag-latino-art","tag-mexican-art","tag-peter-rodriguez","tag-san-francisco","tag-the-mexican-museum","tag-united-states"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>San Francisco Protects Latino Culture in the US with New Museum San Francisco Protects Latino Culture in the US with New Museum<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/san-francisco-mexican-museum-latino-culture\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"San Francisco Protects Latino Culture in the US with New Museum San Francisco Protects Latino Culture in the US with New Museum\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The world-class institution is set to open tis doors in 2019 with a Frida Kahlo show\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/san-francisco-mexican-museum-latino-culture\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-07-26T13:07:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1\u00a0Minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
