Masks of Mexico: Santos, Diablos y Más
“Mexican masks retain the power to enchant viewers of all ages and all backgrounds. They elevate and inspire the imagination. They seem to take on a life of their own.
As we learn more about them, they become a powerful connection to transformation and ritual, and reveal a whole universe of beliefs—indigenous beliefs, old world religious beliefs, contemporary beliefs and the profound mixture, through time, of all three.”
Excerpt from Arizona State Museum Web site.
The Arizona State Museum offers a fine exhibit of Mexican masks, captured by the OSCR Virtual Reality Annex crew in this virtual gallery.
