Behind the Scenes of a Major Art Exhibition | Amalia Alzaga Ruiz
In this week’s episode of The Ana Cruz Show, we dive into the fascinating world behind a major museum exhibition with Amalia Alzaga Ruiz, curator of Raimundo de Madrazo at the Meadows Museum. We explore what it truly means to be a commissioner and a curator—far beyond selecting beautiful paintings. Amalia shares her professional journey, how the idea for the first retrospective dedicated to Raimundo de Madrazo was born, and the years of research, negotiation, and international coordination required to bring a project of this magnitude to life.

If you’ve ever felt intimidated by museums (or you just love discovering the city’s best-kept secrets), keep reading—this one might become your new favorite plan.
