This exhibition examines the war between Mexico and the United States that erupted in
1846 over territory covering a half-million square miles. The outcome of this war
determined the size, shape and wealth of the two nations, marking the beginning of a
unique Mexican-American culture.
“Invasión Yanqui” uses paintings, lithographs, sketches, letters, diaries, sheet music, print
documents and artifacts from museums and libraries in both the United States and
Mexico to narrate the story of the U.S.-Mexican War.
