Hours: \;Please refer to the website for current museum hours.

Price: General Admission $9.00\, Students $6.00

Description: Loterí\;a\, a game of chance that is popular in Mexico and resembles &ldquo\;Bingo\,&rdquo\; relies upon the identification of symbols instead of numbers. In ¡\;Loterí\;a!: Highlights from the Permanent Collection\, the curators took objects from MOLAA&rsquo\;s Permanent Collection and identified what they interpreted to be their corresponding cards in the Loterí\;a deck. Some\, like La Sandí\;a (The Watermelon) and El Valiente (The Brave One) are literal representations of the cards\, while others are connected either by formal qualities or by concept. ¡\;Loterí\;a! uses a playful approach to MOLAA&rsquo\;s Permanent Collection while encouraging viewers to investigate the development and meanings of national\, cultural and religious symbols. Through the exhibition&rsquo\;s education station\, viewers are encouraged to develop their own Loterí\;a cards and riddles as well as play a game of Loterí\;a with their fellow visitors.
