Made up by 188 photos, the exhibition Pierre Verger in Mexico. With the Feet on the Ground analyzes the vision that the French photographer had and expressed on the festivities, faces, and rural life of Mexico in his visits on 1937, 1939, and 1957.

The exhibition closes in Mexico City a trip of two years, stopping in Guadalajara, Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Monterrey. Because of this, to the photographic corpus is added a selection of ethnographic items form the museum’s collections: 26 Nahua, Purépecha, Mixtec, and Zapotec masks, as well as a Mixtec costume used in the Dance of the Feather, a tradition to which Verger dedicated a good number of his images.

The exhibition is divided into three cores: the first, called The General Outline, the second: Holy Days, and the last: Memories of the Rural Utopia.
