The Costumes of the Americas Museum opened at its new location in September of 2022. The Museum is located at 1004 E. 6th Street in Brownsville. Come visit and learn about the rich cultural history of Mexico, Central America and South America through textiles on display. Rotating exhibits from a collection of over 600 costumes bring to life the stories of ancient cultures and artistic craftsmanship.

The Brownsville Historical Association presents Soul of the Tehuana, a textile and Día De Los Muertos exhibition. Soul of the Tehuana, in part, pays tribute to Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo, through her iconic use of the traditional Tehuana dress. In addition to highlighting the origin of the textiles, the exhibit itself will serve as an altar to Frida Kahlo and implement other customary elements used in celebrating Día De Los Muertos, the Mexican day of the dead holiday. The exhibition will be on display at the Costumes of the Americas Museum from September 5, 2023 through January 5, 2024.
