On this tour, we are going to visit some beautiful buildings with murals. In the 1920’s, after the Mexican Revolution, the Government sponsored a muralism project to create a national identity and to harness education for all Mexican people. This project was headed by the most important artists of XXth century Mexico, which resulted in beautiful masterpieces painted in different buildings throughout the country, and even abroad. Using the Fresco technique, and being part of different avant-gardes styles, each artist approached the murals from different social and political themes, exalting the traditions and beliefs of this multicultural society. So, artists such as Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and many others, contributed to the reconstruction and revalorization of Mexican history.
·After meeting in the Constitution Square, we'll head to the Ministry of Education, where we'll appreciate beautiful murals painted by Diego Rivera, distributed on the walls of three levels of this important government building. -Then we'll walk towards the Old School of San Ildefonso and appreciate murals painted by José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, Jean Charlot, Fernando Leal, and others, which decorate this old building. -Next, we are going to walk on Francisco I. Madero Street to later reach the Fine Arts Palace, where on its second floor, we'll see murals painted not only by the three great Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco & David Alfaro Siqueiros, but also those painted by Rufino Tamayo, Jorge Gonzalez Camarena, and others, from 1928 to 1963. -Finally, we are going to walk through Alameda Central Park up to the Diego Rivera Mural Museum, where we'll see the Dream of a Sunday Afternoon mural (Sueño de una Tarde Dominical en la Alameda Central) by Diego Rivera in 1947.
