Chef Rick Bayless donates $1 million to Pilsen museum

The National Museum of Mexican Art is undergoing a major renovation that's expected to cost around $5 million by the time it's done in 2028.

To help with the project, the Bayless Family Foundation which was formed by Chicago-based celebrity Chef Rick Bayless and his wife, Deann, is donating $1 million to the museum.

The donation will be used to renovate the museum's West Wing which will be renamed Foro de Artes Bayless.

The project includes moving the stage, upgrading seating, and modernizing the audio-visual systems.
