The 1936 Mexican Snapshot Mystery

Exhibition Website

Feb 4 2017 - Jun 11 2017

The 1936 Mexican Snapshot Mystery is an exciting whodunit detective story-turned-exhibition. Over 900 vintage photographs - captured by three different photographers while on a 1936 trip through central Mexico - were recently discovered at an estate sale in Santa Paula, California. The journey to discover the truth behind these historic snapshots forms the basis for the exhibit, and museum visitors are invited to play the role of detective alongside the show’s curators.
