CHICAGO (FOX 32 NEWS) - The start of April officially kicked off Celebrate Diversity Month. What better way to celebrate diversity than to support local museums such as the National Museum of Mexican Art?

The Pilsen museum was founded in 1988 and features a slew of Mexican, Latino and Chicano art.

Carlos Tortolero, founder of the National Museum of Mexican Art, and Barbara Engelskirchen, the museum's chief development officer, join the set to talk about upcoming events at the museum.

Tortolero talks about the museum's beginnings, upcoming exhibits and how you can get involved.
