Description
Discover Mexican modernist architecture and monumental public art on a private tour of two remarkable cultural landmarks. Begin at the Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo, one of Latin America’s pioneering examples of functionalist architecture. Designed by Juan O’Gorman, the striking red-and-blue studio houses reveal the creative environments in which Rivera worked and Frida Kahlo lived. Explore their separate spaces, connected by the famous rooftop bridge, and gain insight into their art, personal lives, and unconventional relationship. Continue to UNAM’s Ciudad Universitaria, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Mexico’s most extraordinary integrations of art, architecture, and landscape. Admire Juan O’Gorman’s monumental stone mosaics covering the Biblioteca Central and discover David Alfaro Siqueiros’s dynamic murals on the Rectoría building. Led by an art specialist, this tour connects intimate creative spaces with the monumental scale of Mexican Muralism.
