Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes, Mex....

As much a monument as a gallery, the Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes is housed within Mexico City’s most recognizable architectural landmark. The building is famous for its stylistic collision, pairing a white marble Art Nouveau exterior with a lavish Art Deco interior. While the palace functions as a premier stage for opera and dance, the museum levels are dedicated to the heavyweights of Mexican Muralism. This is one of the few places where you can see seventeen massive works by Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros in a single concentrated setting. Look for Rivera’s "Man at the Crossroads," a recreation of the mural famously destroyed at Rockefeller Center. Between the pre-Hispanic motifs and the legendary Tiffany glass curtain in the theater, the experience bridges the gap between historical nationalist pride and high-society opulence.
