Description
A exhibit from Humanities Texas, “Destination Mexico” explores the compelling lure of Mexico for tourist, travelers, historians and scholars. Since the early 1800s Mexico has held a particular fascination as a neighboring foreign country of mystery. This exhibit documents the eight decades of travel to Mexico from the first rail connections in the mid-1880s to the beginnings of major air travel in the 1950s. Including views of the major cities in Mexico as well as unusual haunts such as unyielding landscapes of the vast desert regions and interesting country villages, this exhibit will evoke a charm and sense of adventure in traversing the myriad realms of Mexico. Accentuating the history of travel to this land of enchantment, Destination Mexico is an educational, beautiful exhibit well worth viewing.
