Fortunately no one was seriously injured, but the window, grating, and wall on the Tinoco y Palacio side of the museum were damaged.
By the time I left in mid May for the trip north, all had been repaired. And then a few days before returning to Oaxaca, blog reader BJ wrote to tell me there was a “beautiful new mural” on the west wall of the museum. She was right — it’s stunning and deeply moving.
