Get close to modern Mexico with the most significant expression of art of the 20th century: Mexican Muralism. It is a form of art available to everyone that that defined the identity of Mexico after the Mexican Revolution, and during most of last century. It provided an opportunity to educate and inform the people with messages of cultural identity, politics and progress.
"The artist must paint as he would speak. I don't want people to speculate what I mean; I want them to understand." – Siqueiros
Visit three different museums, including the Muralist Museum inside Palacio de Bellas Artes, in a 3+ hours walking tour. Along with your guide, you will understand Mexican history through the work of some of the most important artist of modern Mexico.

Our guide was very knowledgeable. He put the murals in context of Mexican history as well as artistic movements. I would not have gotten as much out of looking at them without a guide.

Eye opening experience with in-depth history and storytelling that brings the murals to life. We had Emiliano as a guide, and his vast knowledge, easy going demeanor, and passion for the arts made the whole experience really memorable. I would enthusiastically recommend this tour for anyone interested in understanding the culture, people, philosophy, and history Mexico a bit more.

Guide was great.
Operator did not notify us that the Ministry of Ed that was the main reason for going on this tour, was closed.
Other guests did not realize this was a walking tour (!!) and were not able to keep up. Obnoxious Americans,

Spent an afternoon with Emiliano learning about the relationship of murals and muralists to Mexican history. The sites and murals we visited were iconic. Emiliano was passionate about the subject and patient with us, giving us a brief overview of Mexican history as we launched into our tour. My wife and I are frequent travelers; this was one of the best tours we have ever experienced. Thank you Emiliano!
