Since 2001, Miguel Gleason has been documenting cultural heritage objects form Mexican origin in Europe. As a result he has condensed 6 projects in multimedia (DVD-Rom) in which he displays the presence of Mexico in 17 European countries with over 9,000 objects, from all epochs, discovered in 320 cities, in almost 450 museums, churches, libraries and other forms of exhibition highlighting the Mexican origin or by being Mexican themed.
In conclusion, this research has become the book “Amazing Mexico in Europe” (México Insólito en Europa). After seeing Gleason´s work, the recognized Historian Miguel Leon-Portilla, wrote the prologue of for his book.
The author has decided to continue the same research in North America (USA and Canada) where according with preliminary data, the Mexican cultural heritage is found in 228 museums in 140 cities of both countries.
