About this experience

What happens on the day

Get close to modern Mexico with the most significant expression of art of the 20th century: Mexican Muralism. It is a form of art available to everyone that that defined the identity of Mexico after the Mexican Revolution, and during most of last century. It provided an opportunity to educate and inform the people with messages of cultural identity, politics and progress. "The artist must paint as he would speak. I don't want people to speculate what I mean; I want them to understand." – Siqueiros Visit three different museums, including the Muralist Museum inside Palacio de Bellas Artes, in a 3+ hours walking tour. Along with your guide, you will understand Mexican history through the work of some of the most important artist of modern Mexico.
