-
Antiguo Colegio de San IldefonsoWe will visit the place where Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo met and discover their first mural artwork, which along with other works gave rise to the muralist movement, an artistic movement that originated in Mexico and later influenced other countries and other artists and what could be considered the forerunner of urban art or street art.
-
Museo Vivo del MuralismoWe will continue our tour at the Public Education Secretariat to visit the Museo Vivo del Muralismo, which houses the largest number of Diego's murals. We will learn more about his life, the history of muralism in Mexico, the works that Diego made along with other artists such as David Alfaro Siqueiros, Roberto Montenegro, Amado de la Cueva, Jean Charlot, Federico Canessi, Manuel Felguérez, with themes of the struggle of the Mexican people, the trades, festivals and traditions, education, cultural missions, revolution, inequality, identity and the yearnings of the Mexican people. An emblematic place to delve into the eyes and heart of Diego and the vision he had of our country when he returned from Europe.
-
Museo Mural Diego RiveraWe will finish our tour at the Diego Rivera Mural Museum to see the mural ‘Sueño de una tarde dominical en la Alameda Central (1947)’. This mural is very important because although it was José Guadalupe Posadas (Diego's teacher) who invented the Calavera Garbancera, it was in this mural that Diego dressed her as we know her today, named her Catrina, made her famous and now she is one of the most important icons of Mexico and of the Day of the Dead.
-
Palacio de Bellas ArtesWe will continue our tour of the Palace of Fine Arts to see the mural of the Controlling Man, a replica of the original that was destroyed at the Rockefeller Centre in New York because of the inclusion of the figure of Lenin and Diego Rivera's opposition to removing him from the mural. We will also see the Carnival of Mexican Life mural and the Russian Revolution mural, both by Diego Rivera, as well as works by the other two greats of muralism: David Alfaro Siqueiros and José Clemente Orozco.
