Napa Valley Museum
Napa Valley Museum launches its fall season of exhibitions on September 2, 2017, with a prestigious touring history exhibit about the Braceros contract worker program from the Smithsonian Institution, an inspiring companion exhibit telling the Napa Valley’s own Bracero story through rare historical and original material developed by Napa Valley College and curator Oscar Aguilar, and a thrilling West Coast premiere of towering paintings by Colorado artist Don Coen celebrating today’s migrant farm workers.
In their History Gallery, the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, and Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, present: “Bittersweet Harvest: The Bracero Program 1942-1964.” This prestigious bilingual history exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution examines the experiences of Bracero workers and their families, providing rich insight into Mexican American history and historical background to today’s debates on guest worker programs. The exhibition combines recent scholarship, powerful photographs from the Smithsonian’s collection, and audio excerpts from oral histories by former contract workers.
