About this activity

Muralist Art Immersion – one city, endless stories.

After the Mexican Revolution, Rivera, Orozco and Siqueiros turned the walls of Mexico City into powerful storytelling tools. This story-driven walk through the Historic Center takes you inside some of the city’s most remarkable mural spaces to discover the stories, ideas and conflicts painted across their walls.

Meet the Muralists: get to know the three masters – their lives, their rivalries and the ideas that drove them.

Mexico on the Walls: see how the murals tell the story of Mexico – its history, identity, politics and hopes for the future.

Look Closer: your guide shows you how to read each mural – the characters, the symbols and the details most visitors miss. No complicated theory, and no art background needed.

The tour typically visits the Ministry of Public Education, the Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso and the Palacio de Bellas Artes. Small group of up to 12 guests, relaxed pace, about 2 km (1.2 miles). Entry included.
