2010: THE YEAR OF MÉXICO IN CHICAGO!

What better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than to announce that Mayor Richard M. Daley has declared 2010 The Year of México in Chicago!

The National Museum of Mexican Art proposed the idea to the Mayor in recognition of two very important Mexican anniversaries and celebrations. The year 2010 marks:

• The 200th anniversary of Mexican Independence.
• The 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution

The National Museum of Mexican Art will be coordinating cultural activities throughout the city for this celebration.
