Inspired by the traditions of Mexical magical realism, Alebrijes y Nahuales: Fantastic Animals from Mexico brings together 8 monumental sculptures, with each of these statues reaching nearly 20 feet tall. These large-scale pieces are based on original works, designed and crafted by celebrated artists and artesanos from Oaxaca and central Mexico. These whimsical, larger-than-life sculptures are equipped with strategically placed solar lighting, allowing their intricate craftmanship to be appreciated both day and night.
