Visions of the Hispanic World: Treasures from the Hispanic Society Museum & Library

The exhibition Visions of the Hispanic World: Treasures from the Hispanic Society Museum & Library includes more than 200 exceptional works from the Iberian Peninsula, in the collections of The Hispanic Society of America. A significant number of these works have not been exhibited outside of the Hispanic Society, and some have never before been exhibited.  

Spanning more than 3,000 years -- from prehistoric vessels to the works of Spanish Golden Age painter Diego Velásquez to the romantic images of Francisco de Goya, “Visions of the Hispanic World” celebrates the richness and scope of Spanish arts and culture across the centuries. 

Previously it was seen at the Prado in Madrid, and the Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City.
