A collection of colorful array of handmade ceramic pots, lacquer ware trays, and striking textiles. U.S. ambassador to Mexico in the late 1920s, Dwight and Elizabeth Morrow played a crucial role in shaping the relationship between Mexico and the United States. At Casa Mañana the Morrows entertained Mexico's leading political and cultural figures. Elizabeth's love of traditional handicrafts merged with Dwight's political instincts to use popular, indigenous art and culture as a diplomatic tool to clebrate Mexico.
