Mexican Wrestling: 90 Years of History / Lucha libre Mexicana, 90 años de historia


 

The Brownsville Museum of Fine Art presents the exhibition "Mexican Wrestling: 90 Years of History" which will be on display from June 9 to July 29, 2023.

The community is invited to attend the exhibition opening on June 9th, 2023 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. During this time frame the entrance is free to the museum.

The exhibition references a history of wrestling that has never been presented before in the United States. Its central focus is Mexican Wrestling, which spans over a hundred years since its arrival in Mexico and 90 years since its professionalizations. The exhibition will cover the period from September 21, 1933, the day the former Arena México was inaugurated, up to the present time.

It is a significant curatorial and museographic challenge as it integrates original and authentic objects from great legends of Mexican wrestling, without necessarily showcasing the sporting trajectory of each individual, but rather emphasizing their role as part of Mexican identity and history.

"This ambitious project would not be possible without the support of the Christian Cymet López Suarez Collection, described as the largest collection of Mexican wrestling in the world. It contributes over a hundred objects, which are part of a unique collection in Mexico distinguished by its quantity, quality, and uniqueness within the world of wrestling.

In addition to the exhibition, the Museum will offer other special events such as wrestling shows, conferences with special guests, and superstar wrestlers in various locations in Brownsville.

As part of the exhibition, the Museum will offer other events that will be announced on our social media.

Comunicado de prensa - spanish

 

Brownsville Museum of Fine Art, presenta la exposición “Lucha libre Mexicana, 90 años de historia”  que permanecerá en exhibición del 9 de Junio al 29 de Julio , 2023. 

 

Se extiende la cordial invitación a la comunidad a la inauguración de la exhibición el día 9 de Junio de 6:00 pm a 8:00 pm. Durante ese horario la entrada al museo es gratuita. 

La muestra hace referencia a una historia de la lucha libre como nunca antes se había presentado en los Estados Unidos. Tiene como eje central la Lucha Libre Mexicana, a más de cien años de su llegada a México y 90 años de su profesionalización. La exhibición se remonta a la fecha del 21 de septiembre de 1933, día en que se inauguró la antigua Arena México hasta llegar a la época actual.

 

Es un gran reto curatorial y museográfico, ya que se integran objetos originales y auténticos de grandes leyendas de la lucha libre mexicana sin que ello implique mostrar la trayectoria deportiva de cada uno de ellos  y sobre todo su papel como parte de la identidad e historia mexicana. 

 

La exhibición que se presentará el BMFA consta de más de 100 objetos que son parte de la Colección de Christian Cymet López Suarez, descrita como la colección más grande de lucha libre mexicana en el mundo,  destacándose como un acervo único en México por su cantidad, calidad y singularidad sobre el mundo de la lucha libre.

 

Dentro del marco de la exhibición en el museo se ofrecerán otros eventos que se anunciarán en las redes sociales. 

 

Conviértase en patrocinador de este evento y ayúdenos a servir a nuestra comunidad. Para obtener más información sobre los paquetes de patrocinio, por favor llame a Deyanira Ramírez, Directora de BMFA, al 956-542-0941.
