Gawd, I love the museum's print of "La Nueva Jerusalen," a print of a painting by an unidentified artist. I bought it when I visited Mexico.  Apparently, it is a popular painting that is found in the homes of devout Catholics in Latin America. The painting shows two paths: 1) one scenario where the Redeemed go to Heaven and Eternal Paradise; and 2) The Road To Perdition where decadent playboys, exploitative colonizers, a guy about to commit suicide, and corrupt politicians are about to get their asses handed to them.  They meet up with what appears to be The Whore of Babylon riding her multi-headed beast with an unnamed bearded guy with a turban. Their ultimate destination is a date with Satan! The painting reminds me of the Chick tract "The Long Trip." 

Scary stuff.
