Text in English. The new catalog of the collections of the Museum of the Americas – Auch presents through its 320 pages and more than 500 illustrations the diversity and richness of its collections gathered over more than two centuries. The first museum in France to receive the label “National Center of Reference” from the Ministry of Culture, the Museum of the Americas – Auch notably preserves the second largest collection of pre-Columbian art and Latin American sacred art in France after the Musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac. In this work, a large space is devoted to them, evoking the Andean (Chavin, Mochica, Nasca, Inca ...), Central and Mesoamerican (Teotihuacan, Zapotec, Maya, Aztec, Huaxtec, Totonac ...) cultures. Several internal notebooks also offer a focus on different themes relevant to both American and local sections: Peruvian erotic ceramics, Andean goldsmithing, the art of Mexican featherwork, the Gallo-Roman frescoes of Roquelaure, the Abbey of Saint-Orens in Auch, or the painters Jean-Louis Rouméguère and Mario Cavaglieri.
