Description
Admire what would have been the welcome piece at New York's Rockefeller Center: the mural “The Master of the Universe,” created by the muralist Diego Rivera, who, because he refused to change its theme, was forced to see his work destroyed in this iconic building. In addition, learn how the muralists Siqueiros and Orozco depicted various chapters of Mexico's history with pride and contempt, such as the Conquest, the Porfiriato, and the Revolution, featuring figures important to Mexican culture.
Without overlooking the significance of the venue where these murals are located, you can also discover the architecture of Mexico's most important Art Deco building, the Palace of Fine Arts, an architectural gem of the city, an artistic treasure, and the home of Mexico's ballet company—an unmissable site during your visit to Mexico City.
A visit to the Palace of Fine Arts will allow you to discover the artistic legacy of Mexico's 3 best-known and most important muralists, as well as that of other, less acclaimed artists. You can also explore the Palace's temporary exhibitions, where you might encounter works by Kandinsky, Van Gogh, Mondrian, Monet, Picasso, Dalí, Magritte, and other European masters who have visited this venue, and, of course, the legacy of contemporary artists such as Damián Ortega.
As if that weren't enough, you'll get to see the mural that is now part of the permanent mural exhibition: The Underworld of the Mayans, the only mural created by a woman on display in the halls of what was for a long time an artistic space reserved for male muralists.
