Colonization in Latin America was centered on European conquest and control of lands, resources, and labor, resulting in a significant impact on the cultures of the region. With sections on pre-colonial society, Spanish colonization and control, and the lasting effects in the post-colonial era, this intimate student-curated exhibit presents artifacts that show how Latin American societies were influenced by colonization. Objects from several different Latin American countries demonstrate the cultural diversity of the region.
