Amid blows to museum budgets worldwide, Mexican state museums are particularly vulnerable, according to the Museum Watch Committee of the International Committee for Museums and Collections of Modern Art.
The organization, which has sent a statement to the country’s culture secretary, Alejandra Frausto Guerrero, says the situation is dire and that Mexican museum leaders are afraid to speak out for fear of retribution. Several museums contacted by Artnet News did not reply, or said that their directors were not available.
