CECUT

The Centro Cultural Tijuana is a neat museum, in which you can explore the several art and history galleries for about 3 US dollars.  It also houses a huge dome imax theater with movies playing in Spanish.

We first went to El Cubo, where works by local artists were being hosted. Each sala was devoted to one artist. Here's Sala 2, with huge mural mixed media paintings by Alejandro Santiago.

In Sala 1, was the work of Demian Flores.  He combines collage, graphics, and paintings in his exhibition called "Giants".  This was unanimously our favorite room.

Lastly in Sala 3 was Estella Hussong, whose work was feminine and gentle. I used her gallery as the background to try out some different portrait shot settings.

We then went over to the main building where we found even more cool art that looked like it deserved a place at somewhere like The Broad in LA.

Lastly, we perused through the history section of the CECUT. We walked through the timeline of Baja California from the perspective of the Spanish. Of course, much of the museum was post colonization.  Though I would have loved to see more about the thousands of years before the introduction of the Spanish Missions.  But oh well-- at least I got to take some neat pictures of the dioramas.

I also took the liberty to recreate one of the historic photos.

Overall, this was a great place to spend a few hours of our day!
