Leonora Carrington Museum in San Luis PotosĂ
đ”In the heart of this industrial city lies a magical temple dedicated to the surrealist enchantress Leonora Carrington. âȘïžHoused in a converted 19th-century textile factory, the museum meticulously recreates the artist's London studioâbronze-cast harpies perch on steam pipes while stained glass windows cast silhouettes of her iconic half-human, half-beast creatures. đ„The centerpiece exhibition "Mexican Metamorphosis" reveals how Carrington blended Mexican mythology with surrealism: walking pyramids, serpent deities with butterfly wings, and a Tarot High Priestess assembled from automobile parts. â The monthly "Full Moon Surreal SoirĂ©e" is the museum's highlight, with performers embodying characters from Carrington's paintings amidst the industrial machinery. đFor the optimal visit, come on a Friday afternoon when sunset gilds the cast-iron window frames, then head to the rooftop garden for a "Mad Tea Party" cocktailâmezcal infused with rosemary and blue cornmeal, garnished with an edible gold-leaf feather. #Surrealism #WomenInArt #MexicanArt
