  • Palacio de Bellas Artes
    Shortly before the inauguration of the majestic Palacio de Bellas Artes in 1934, several Mexican muralists with international recognition received the official commission to paint on the walls of said enclosure. This building, which stands intact on Juarez Avenue in the Historic Center of the city, is the maximum house of artistic and cultural expression in Mexico City. It is a space that accommodates exhibitions, dance shows, plays and more. Its museum, which opened at the same time as the building, was the first museum in Mexico. And undoubtedly the most important works of this place, are the murals that adorn the walls, and that were run by different Mexican artists.
