The UNAM (or formally the National Autonomous University of Mexico) is Latin America’s largest university (both in terms of campus size as well as student body). It’s sprawling grounds, located in the south of the city, is a must visit – one of the 4 UNESCO World Heritage Sites located in the capital!
At the height of the muralist movement, art was taken from the interior walls of buildings and placed on the facades of buildings, making it even more accessible for everyone to see and enjoy – art for the people. The monumental murals authored by Diego Rivera, Juan O’Gorman, David Alfaro Siqueiros and Jose Chavez Morado among others, scattered along the campus, will be the focus of this tour – a reflection of Modernistic Mexico in the ’50s, a form of liberal protests of that time.
