The barker

Since the arrival of the English in what is now called America, one of the recurring themes of the crown was the market ; of Tlatelolco in the valley of Anahuac, but not only the "flea market" product sales, too, as in any civilization, reported on the trades. There were "poets" architects "sculptors" "jo-yeros" musical instrument makers, women dress elaborated waist loom among many other techniques. Were chores that by placing the story in that context, satisfied the necessities of life. Arriving Europeans developed a number of new jobs which in turn have changed the customs of the land that was gradually "amestizado" their daily lives. It was precisely Peter Gent, from Belgium Franciscan who initiates a trade school in what is now the corner of Central Axis (formerly San Juan de Letran, before Lost Boy) and Madero. Time passes and needs change, the Folk Art Museum pays tribute to everyday activities, which in some cases are quickly disappearing, and with them personal interaction, admiration for the job at hand and the warmth and respect generated by this coexistence.

The exhibition "MAISTRA WHAT IF I CAN NOT? Invented it! A day in the offices of the street" will be until June 5, 2011 in the temporary exhibition hall of the Museum.
