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, in collaboration with the Consulate of Guatemala in McAllen, presents Roots of the Maya World: Guatemalan Textiles, an exhibition that highlights the traditional dress or trajes of various Guatemalan villages. The exhibition features over 20 complete trajes, made in the traditional way, by the Maya art of backstrap weaving. The exhibition explores regional preferences in color and design and illustrates indigenous identity. Roots of the Maya World: Guatemalan Textiles is on display at the Costumes of the Americas Museum from March 31 through August 31, 2023.
