Palace of Fine Arts

There is NO other place in the city (or the country for that matter) where you can see the works of the three great muralists – Diego Rivera, David Alvaro Siqueiros and Jose Clemente Orozco (as well as other well-known painters) – under one roof, except at the Palace of Fine Arts.  Aside from the amazing frescoes, we will tour this Beaux Art building itself, exploring the hidden nationalistic symbols embedded in the architecture, talk about the origins of the muralist movement, and explain why it took over 30 years to complete this architectural jewel.  There are usually top-notch temporary art exhibits brought in from around the world on display  We’ll see what temporary exhibits are on to include in our visit.
