Happenings

Traje de la Vida presents a group of textiles from the Guatemalan highlands that tell stories of culture and personal identity as well as social and political transformation. Drawn from the Hearst Museum's extensive collection of Guatemalan textiles and collected over a hundred-year period, the objects on display include hand-woven ceremonial and dance costumes, traditional head cloths, and a quetzal (the national bird of Guatemala), to name only a few.
