**What does MoLAA stand for?
Museum of Latin American Art

**What are the video clips about?
The video clips are about Latin American Art. The first one gives us information and a tour of the museum and interesting facts of it's beginnings and where the museum is headed in the future. It was a great introductory video into what the museum is. The second video was a great look inside to view the art. I liked that the filmaker showed the names of the artists along with the art. I also enjoyed the Latin American music that went along with the video. The third video is an interveiw with Megan Sherwood and the MoLAA Director: Gregario Luke. He tells of the history of the museum and what visitors will find there.
