Drawn from public and private collections throughout the Americas and in Europe, Tesoros / Treasures / Tesouros: The Arts in Latin America, 1492-1820 spans the centuries from the arrival of Columbus to the emergence of national independence movements, including spectacular examples of painting, sculpture, feather-work, shell-inlaid furniture, objects in gold and silver, ceramics, and textiles.
Some 260 works of art created in the Spanish viceroyalties of New Spain (which today comprises Mexico and the countries of Central America), Peru (now the countries of Ecuador, Venezuela, Uruguay, Paraguay, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru), and the Portuguese colony of Brazil are on view.
