Visit: Museo Diego Rivera Anahuacalli, Calle Museo 150, Mexico City 04620 Mexico

Rivera sought to link representations of ancient cultures with contemporary art, in such a way as to build a continuous line of time. For this reason, the pieces do not have an explanatory certificate, in order to be appreciated by themselves as a current work of art.
