Human history could not continue without water, nor could the development of large metropolises like Guadalajara. This relationship will be explored in the exhibition “Water City: From the Chapala Sea to Guadalajara,” prepared by the Chapala University Center, with the intention of highlighting the historical importance of this vital resource and its role in the future of humanity.
The exhibition will open at the City Museum next Thursday, and will provide details on the relevance of water in the development of our metropolis and how the city had to adapt culturally and structurally to access the water from the ancient Chapala Sea.
Thanks to the collaboration between Cultura Guadalajara, the City Museum, and the Chapala government, “Water City” will occupy four rooms of the museum, where visitors can explore four thematic sections focused on highlighting the water challenges facing the capital of Jalisco and the perspectives of local artists.
The Water City exhibition is the result of the work of researchers from the University Center for Art, Architecture and Design (CUAAD) and CUChapala, as well as information provided by the City Museum, SIAPA (the Intermunicipal System for Water and Sanitation Services), and various specialists.
It will be open from January 29 to April 30 at the City Museum (Independencia 684, Downtown Guadalajara).
Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Admission is free.
