Mexico City: Museums
built 654 days ago
After the Mexican Revolution, an avant-garde artistic movement originated in Mexico City: muralism. Many of the works of muralists José Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros and Diego Rivera are displayed in numerous buildings in the city, most notably at the National Palace and the Palacio de Bellas Artes. Frida Kahlo, wife of Rivera, with a strong nationalist expression, was ... one of the most renowned of Mexican painters. Her house has become a museum that displays many of her works.

With its 44,000 square meters and rooms that focus on the Mayan, Toltec and Mexica cultures, the National Anthropology Museum is the most notable of Mexico City. Also noteworthy is the Museum of Modern Art, which houses pieces from Mexican artists like David Alfaro Siqueiros, José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, Olga Costa, and Oliverio Martinez, among others. For a different experience, visit the Papalote Children’s Museum, which is housed in a three-building complex, each conforming a different geometric figure: the circle, the triangle, and the square. The slogan “Touch, play and learn”, ensures that each visitor obtains a unique experience, no mater his or her age.
