On loan from Humanities Texas, the NW library will host the exhibit, Mexico: Splendors of Thirty Centuries Sept. 15-Oct. 14.
The exhibit features 3,000 years of Mexican culture and history through photographs of stone sculptures from prehistoric times, liturgical artifacts from colonial days, 19th century portraits of landscapes and works on canvas and paper by 20th century muralists.
