Art and the political landscape of the 1930’s and 40’s - The Interior of the museum is a must see in and of itself. Our guide Diego was extremely informative and gave us some background information which was very helpful. You would not be able to appreciate the Art and the artist’s vision and motivation just by looking at the murals on your own. Context is very important.

Excellent and informative! - Diego provided us with a wonderful in-depth tour of the three key murals from the three great Mexican muralists plus an extended few gems in the gallery. Our tour was at the same time informative and fun. Diego was incredibly knowledgeable and took care to give us time to ask questions. We learned not only about the murals but more broadly about art in Mexico and the historical context of the country. Would highly recommend.

Great experience and great tour guide! - Definitely worthwhile if you're curious about the stories behind those incredible murals. León, our tour guide, was excellent-providing insightful details not just about the paintings themselves, but also their historical and cultural context.

Great tour/ Jorge is a gem - I found the murals very hard to understand on my own without a tour so I booked one last minute. Jorge was kind and super knowledgeable. Multiple people stopped us on the tour to get his card so that they could book the tour in the future. I learned so much and he was excited to answer any questions. We ended up booking a follow up tour with him for the anthropology museum. Take this tour!
