In the 1920s the property was a roller skating rink, with splendid wood floors. Then it was the Gumbiner medical facility with
Dr. Gumbiner’s private collection of Latin American art.
Then the property became a museum with a stunning expansion supervised by the Museum Director Gregorio Luke, who preserved and integrated the some of the original wood floors into the design of new museum facility.
An amazing history…25 years…
I remember when Gloria Contreras’s dance company – Taller Coreografico performed at MOLAA. Gloria, a Professor of Dance at the University of Mexico in Mexico City, was a former Joffrey Ballet star…and mother of Gregorio Luke.
And there were many more fabulous memories…
The actor Carlos Rivas was honored at the Museum of Latin American Art with a screening of ‘True Grit’ and his other films.
Our heart and history is with the Museum of Latin American Art…
with memories of sparkling experiences over 25 years…
