Breaking the Frame is a podcast featuring interviews that explore how museums and the people who work in them shape American history and culture — past and present. We start off our interviews this season by talking with Dr. Lucía Abramovich Sánchez, the Carolyn and Peter Lynch Associate Curator of American Decorative Arts and Sculpture at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and an expert on Latin American art.
