Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaría de Educacion Publica

The Secretariat of Public Education (SEP) building is home to an extraordinary collection of murals created by Diego Rivera between 1923 and 1928. Comprising over 200 panels across three floors, the artwork offers a comprehensive visual narrative of Mexico’s history, from its pre-Hispanic roots through the revolution and beyond. The murals are notable for their scale, intricate detail, and often socialist-leaning political commentary. The building itself, a significant example of Mexican architecture, features peaceful courtyards that provide a respite from the city. Admission is free, but visitors should be prepared to navigate a working government building to access the murals.
