The Americas Society is pleased to present The Metropolises of Latin America, 1830-1930, an exhibition that explores the impact that a century of accelerated urbanization, as well as political and social transformations, had on the architectural landscapes of six Latin American capitals: Buenos Aires, Havana, Lima, Mexico City, 
Rio de Janeiro, and Santiago de Chile. Curated by Idurre Alonso and Maristella Casciato, the exhibition The Metropolises of Latin America, 1830-1930 will be on display at the Americas Society Art Gallery until June 30, 2018. The exhibition features rare maps, engravings, drawings, photographs, books, and videos, including Hernán Cortés’ map of Tenochtitlán (1524) and the drawings Le Corbusier made of Buenos Aires during his visit to the city in 1929.
The Americas Society is the first organization dedicated to education, debate, and dialogue of the Americas. Established by David Rockefeller in 1965, its mission is to promote understanding of the social, economic, and political issues confronting Latin America, the 
Caribbean, and Canada, and to enhance public awareness and appreciation of the diversity of the Americas’ cultural heritage, as well as the importance of inter-American relations. The Americas Society’s visual arts program has the oldest private space in the United States dedicated to exhibiting and promoting art from Latin America, the Caribbean, and Canada; it has achieved a unique and renowned leadership position in the field, producing historical and contemporary exhibitions.
