Public Tour - Paper Vault: Meet Melecio Galván

Melecio Galván flew under the radar during his lifetime, but now you’ll get a unique chance to explore his extraordinary work in this Paper Vault show. In the first ever museum exhibition in the U.S. dedicated to the Mexican draftsman, this presentation spotlights an under-recognized artist whose mastery merits far wider recognition.
