Explore Diego Rivera’s murals in Mexico City, from SEP’s mural collection to Bellas Artes and the Diego Rivera Mural Museum.
“The Diego Rivera Murals and Hidden Treasures excursion far exceeded my expectations mainly because of our highly knowledgeable and spirited guide Laila. Looking at Diego Rivera’s murals are impressive in and of themselves, but the histories and significances pointed out by Laila delivered a much more meaningful experience. I have seen other Diego Rivera works and collections. After this particular excursion, however, much of them now are woven together in a way that has completely enriched what I have learned about the life and art of Diego Rivera”
