National Museum of the Latin American receives $1 million donation from Google.org

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the Latino American has received a $1 million donation from Google.org to support the development of programs, exhibits and construction of the new museum. The donation establishes Google as a founding donor of the National Museum of the Latin American. The tech company previously supported the museum’s Molina Family Latino Gallery and has long supported the Smithsonian Institution.

“We thank Google for their enduring support and commitment to helping us develop a museum that recognizes the achievements, history and culture of Latino communities,” said Jorge Zamanillo, Director of NMAL. “Supporters like Google allow us to share the many stories of Latinas and Latinos whose contributions have shaped and continue to shape the history of the United States.”

“As a Venezuelan American, I know firsthand the richness of Latino culture, its vibrant history, and the community’s many contributions to the fabric of the United States,” said Hector Mujica, head of economic opportunities at Google. org. . “Google is proud to support the National Museum of the Latino American with this grant.”

The Molina Family Latino Gallery is an early iteration of what people will be able to see when the museum opens. The gallery’s inaugural exhibition, “¡Presente! A Latino History of the United States,” introduces visitors to key concepts, moments, and biographies that illuminate the historical and cultural legacy of American Latinos. The gallery is located inside the National Museum of American History and is open to the public seven days a week.
