El Museo del Barrio: ‘Caribbean: Crossroads of the World’
1230 Fifth Avenue

through Jan. 6
In size, cultural scope and freshness of material, the three-museum exhibition “Caribbean: Crossroads of the World” is a big art event in New York City, itself one of the largest Caribbean cities in the world. Be warned: the thematically arranged show throws you into history at the deep end. Almost all the information is strictly visual; there are very few explanatory labels anywhere.
