Museo Mural Diego Rivera

We 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 Artes

We 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.
