Sneaking in at the very end of Cinco de Mayo, we want to remind you about the Mexican Museum. It's their 30th anniversary this year and they're also gearing up to begin construction on a new, permanent, fancy home in Yerba Buena. Much of their current fundraising goes towards their capital campaign for this new building and they're approaching the $34 they'll need.

Housed now at Fort Mason, the museum features more than 12,000 objects and art pieces celebrating the diversity of cultural achievement by Latino artists and artisans in the Americas. That means more than margaritas and Salma Hayek. Much more. Beginning May 11th, they'll have an exhibition of "MasCaras: Masks of Mexico". Yeah, like that kind of more.

What SFist Cares loves about museums (even more than the learnin') is that you can become a member, for pretty cheap, get great benefits like discounted admission and still contribute to a great organization. And museum memberships are fantastic gifts. Even better gifts from the Mexican Museum? Day of the Dead switchplates. Rock.
