El Museo Del Barrio's grand reopening.

Finally after being closed for a year and a half for major renovations. The Museo Del Barrio finally reopened this weekend with a day full of fun events. The Museo now has a glass Lobby, a new gift shop, cafe and an updated gallery space. Sorry but no photos were allowed to be taken inside the galleries.

Tons of reporters were on had to interview, local politicians, museum curators and visitors.
