Overview

On this tour, you will learn about the history of Mexico through the contemplation of the murals that adorn the corridors and halls of various museums and public buildings located in the Historic Center of Mexico City.

These murals are part of the artistic movement known as Mexican muralism, in which great artists such as Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros, among others, took part. The idea of this tour is to offer the visitor the opportunity to observe not only the most acclaimed and popular murals but also the lesser-known but equally impressive ones.
