When she moved to Brownsville, she brought her collection of authentic Mexican costumes and handicrafts. Mrs. Johnson was one of the leading authorities on Mexico’s folklore and native clothing. Today, the museum holds one of the largest authentic collections of North, Central, and South American costumes. Pieces include petticoats, jewelry, shoes and accessories that are one-of-a-kind.
