		The mission of El Museo del Barrio is to present and preserve the art and culture of Puerto Ricans and all Latin Americans in the United States.
		El Museo del Barrio was founded in 1969 by a group of Puerto Rican parents, educators, artists, and community activists in East Harlem's Spanish-speaking el barrio, the neighborhood that extends from Ninety-sixth Street to the Harlem River and from Fifth Avenue to the East River on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
		El Museo holds twenty-five interviews on videotape, undertaken in 2001 as the preliminary phase of a compilation of the history and timeline of El Museo.

	Nuestro Museo Action Commitee
		El Museo del Barrio was the outgrowth of a city-wide effort on the part of Puerto Rican and African American artists, educators and community activists to gain community control over education and social services.
		El Museo may try to transcend its Puerto Rican origins but its permanent collection remains about 75 percent Puerto Rican, a factor which makes it a Puerto Rican institution regardless of what the board now desires it to be.
		El Museo does not have a sizable Latin American collection at present and there is no acquisition plan or donation in the wings that I am aware of.

		El Museo del Barrio is dedicated to presenting and preserving the art and culture of Puerto Ricans and Latin Americans in the United States.

		Today, El Museo del Barrio stands solidly alongside the museum heavyweights of Fifth Avenue, but this was not always the case.
		According to these (increasingly scarce) critics, when it was founded in 1969 El Museo was meant to be a cultural center for the predominantly Puerto Rican population of El Barrio, also known as Spanish Harlem, and not an important international institution for showcasing Latin American and Caribbean art.
		Despite his extensive experience in Latin American-related art projects and while his nationality plays nicely with El Museo’s officially expanded focus, Zugazagoitia firmly believes he was unanimously selected to head the museum because of his qualifications in the art world, and not just his proximity to Latin American culture.

	East Harlem Online Discussion Forums - El Museo Del Barrio - Which Way?
		I think that instead of worrying about "which direction" el Museo is going, we need to support it by going to visit it as often as we can, becoming members (and therefore we become shareholders), and make constructive suggestions and recommendations.
		El Museo needs to move to a bigger place (within the confines of El Barrio) and devote a good portion of that space to the culture that founded it.
		El museo would then have a WHOLE building to itself; it would go from 7,500 square feet of gallery space to over 30,000 square feet.

	El Museo del Barrio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In recent years a plan was floated for the Museum of the City of New York, across the street from El Museo, to relocate to the historic Tweed Courthouse by City Hall in Lower Manhattan.
		El Museo would then have moved into the other museum's former building, dramatically expanding its available exhibition space.
		After the failed relocation, El Museo has opted to pursue a $15 million project to transform its outdoor courtyard into an open glass lobby, café and performance space, and to provide a suitable public "face" to the street on the model of the renovated Brooklyn Museum.

	Smithsonian Center for Latino Initiatives:: The Interpretation and Representation of Latino Cultures: Research and ...
		Throughout the first 20 years of its existence, El Museo del Barrio's mission was clearly defined as an institution that researched and displayed the cultural heritage of the museum's founders, the Puerto Rican community in El Barrio/East Harlem.
		Under the colonial rule of the United States, Puerto Ricans have few cultural institutions that "preserve and project" their identity as a nation; El Museo del Barrio is therefore a banner of the Diaspora's survival and a testament to the struggles waged by Puerto Ricans in the 1960s and 70s for equal rights and self-representation.
		Yet, when Ageros took directorship of El Museo del Barrio, a tenure that lasted from 1977 to 1986, he clearly saw that the museum was a distinct community based endeavor dedicated to Puerto Rican heritage and not a Latin American art museum in waiting.

	Sleek Entrance for El Museo del Barrio - New York Times
		It is somehow fitting that El Museo del Barrio has made its home for the last 28 years in a former orphanage on Fifth Avenue in East Harlem.
		But the building where El Museo moved in 1977, the massive city-owned Heckscher Foundation Building, has long contributed to a kind of identity problem for the museum.
		The changes, paid for in part with federal help, are taking place as El Museo continues to expand its scope beyond Puerto Rican art to that of all Latin America and the Caribbean, amid criticism by some longtime patrons and supporters that this change represents a betrayal of the institution's roots.
