Celebrating the Huipil!

The Celebrating the Huipil exhibit features selections from the Multicultural Museum's collection of huipils: the colorful, traditional garments worn by indigenous women from Mexico to Central America. Huipils are hand-woven and often have detailed embroidery on them. These garments hold deep cultural significance, serving not just as clothing but as a canvas for storytelling. The colors, patterns, and designs woven into each huipil can convey a wealth of information, such as the wearer's country, region, or even specific village, as well as the language they speak.
