In this episode, we welcome Natalie Espino and Ryan Pinchot from the Hispanic Society Museum & Library.

Located on the Audubon Terrace Broadway between 155th and 156th streets, the Hispanic Society Museum & Library was founded by Archer Milton Huntington in 1904, as a free, public museum and library for the study of the art and culture of Spain, Portugal, Latin America, and the Philippines. HSM&L houses a vast collection of paintings, watercolors, drawings, prints and photographs, as well as sculpture and decorative objects dating from the first millennium BCE to the 20th century. The library offers an unparalleled collection of over 300,000 books and periodicals dating from the 11th century to the present.

As HSM&L continues comprehensive renovation of its buildings it has maintained and expanded its public and educational programs both in virtual platforms and in person, including its popular concert series, public lectures, and launching of temporary exhibition spaces. They have reactivated the outdoor space with exhibitions and public programs on Audubon Terrace in partnership with several local artists and community arts organizations. www.hispanicsociety.org
