Museums of art in Quito

Artist Camilo Egas is a painter of indigenous art. I visited the free museum in Centro Histórico. He painted many indigenous paintings as well as paintings from the depression era when he lived in New York.

In the upper floor of the museum is a room of early 20th century political cartoons that were published.

This is a picture of a mural that was commissioned for an expo and painted by the artist.

Afterwards, I saw this street parade honoring a ban teacher that has recently died. Students and older friends played in bands in the parade.

The Viva Michelangelo exhibit in Quito used artistic interpretations and some reproductions to bring Michelangelo’s work to the people here.
