Other galleries address the transformative reforms that began in 1760 and culminated in widespread discontent and the onset of conflict in 1808. Paintings, furnishings, and documents reflect the impact of Bourbon reforms and the arrival of inspector José de Gálvez, who sought to restore political and economic control for the Crown. The final rooms examine how Enlightenment ideas influenced science, fashion, and the arts in New Spain. Portraits, clothing, ceramics, and silverwork illustrate these changes. The exhibits highlight how Bourbon policy destabilized the old colonial order, particularly by displacing the criollo class, leading to growing criticism and eventually to the insurgency of 1810 that ended with Mexico’s independence 11 years later.
