On May 11, we had the opportunity to tour the exhibition. They were guided by a star, with which the Photography archive museum restarted activities after a pause due to the pandemic in Mexico City.
The exhibition is a journey through the documentary work of the Mexican photographer Elsa Chabaud that addresses the office of being the Magician King in the City. Museum staff welcomed us to give a guided visit to some of the valedores who shared their experiences on the theme of the exhibition. In addition, we were able to learn more about the process of cataloging the enormous collection of the museum, which contains more than two million photographic images that are an invaluable account of the changes that have occurred in Mexico City throughout more than 100 years.
