The Museum of Latin American Art educates the public through the collection, preservation, presentation and interpretation of modern and contemporary Latin American art in order to promote cross-cultural dialogue. At the time of the museum’s inception, the art collection of the Robert Gumbiner Foundation was the basis of the museum’s effort. Over the past decade and more, the RGF Collection and the MOLAA Permanent Collection have grown to now represent more than over 900 works of art—painting, sculpture, works on paper, photography and video—by more than 350 Latin American artists from the 20 Latin American countries included in the MOLAA mission.
