There’s a new exhibition coming to Crystal Bridges—and teachers, we want you to be among the first to see it!
Teachers and educators of all ages and disciplines are invited to a special preview of our new exhibition Diego Rivera’s America. Enjoy a guided walk-through of the exhibition with a Museum Educator and experience Rivera’s vision of America come to life through paintings, drawings, murals, and digital projections. You’ll learn about Rivera’s profound impact on the art world in Mexico and beyond, how to connect works in the exhibition to your own curriculum, a preview of what you can expect on a school tour, and how to tap into the resources Crystal Bridges can provide.
For those wanting to dive a little deeper and add more expert insights, the exhibition’s opening lecture will be held shortly after the tour. Best of all, you can even get professional development credit just for attending the evening. We hope to see you there!

Developed by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), Diego Rivera’s America examines a prolific time in the artist’s life through over 170 works, including his drawings, easel paintings, frescoes, and more. Between the early 1920s and the early 1940s, Rivera worked in both Mexico and the United States and found inspiration in the social and cultural life of the two countries. He imagined an America—broadly understood—that shared an Indigenous past and an industrial future, and where cooperation, rather than divisions, were paramount.
