Overview of your Mexico city tour:

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.
