I love paintings, but Mexican murals are not just works of art, they explain the culture and political history so well. From Diego`s point of view it`s always interesting. Again, go with a good guide this is a great mural! More

The main mural is wonderful and there is a nice guide detailing who all the people in the painting are. Easy to reach with public transport and cheap admission too. More

We didn't expect much from this museum because it's small. But we loved it. The mural is amazing you can't spend the day there finding new figures. More

I only went for the mural but it was worth it for that. The museum is very easy to reach - at one end of the Alameda and the explanation boards were a real bonus More

Diego Riviera fan so it did not let me down. Also, offers other artists on the second level. Check out the book store as they have nice selection of art books. More

I only went in to see the Diego Rivera mural "Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in the Alameda". Definitely worth going in just for this mural alone which was originally on the wall of a nearby hotel which had tobe demolished after the 1985 earthquake. They saved wall and moved it into the museum. More

It is a massive museum to get through. There is tight security there so be prepared to check your bags and be screened before you can enter. An introduction to the museum was in Spanish so we didn't get much of it. Y out have to follow a strict route through the museum- we didn't so we missed most of... More

On the other side of Alameda park from the Palacio de Bellas Artes is the Museo Mural Diego Rivera. The main attraction here, other than several individual Rivera paintings, is his large work of Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in the Alameda.
