This museum at the opposite end of Alameda Park from the Palacio Bellas Artes Is worth an hour or so. One can also visit the Franz Mayer Museum as well as the Stamp Museum: both are across the street from the park and on the way. How appropriate that this painting is at the bottom of the park that it immortalizes!
A large room is dedicated to Diego Rivera's immense painting that was relocated here after an earthquake severely damaged the hotel it was formerly located in. The painting itself is magnificent: one needs to back off to take in the full scope, or stroll along it to take in the dense array of historical personages and figures. There are two black and white outline panels, one for each half of the painting, that identify most of the people in the park on that wonderful Sunday and that give some background on the relationships and social interactions. It's just wonderful. There is information about the creation and relocation of the painting on the surrounding walls. The upper level of the museum has changing exhibits.
Go to the Franz Mayer Museum for a refreshment break afterward in that Museum's beautiful and shady patio.

This is a remarkable effot to preserve an invaluable mural by Diego Rivera after an earthquake ruined the building that contained it. The mural was moved several hundred meters to this building that was purpose-built. Parking nearby at the Bellas Artes museum underground. Entrance fee plus fee for the right to take pictures. Guided visit recomended for a detailed explanation of the mural itself. DON'T MISS THIS ONE!

Diego Rivera first painted this mural for a hotel in central old Mexican City. Then an earthquake destroyed so much that the government turned the mural into the centerpiece of a small museum. not to be missed

The other reviews here are nonsense and people who don't seem to understand. The main object is the Diego Mural that survived the 1985 earthquake in a nearby hotel. It was moved here for everyone to enjoy. Most days its 40 pesos, about $2.20 USD to get to see one of the worlds best muralist Diego Rivera and a mural that survived an earthquake. 2 bucks! It absolutely is worth it. We went late in the day to beat the crowds and we had the place to ourselves. They will ask you to check large bags like knapsacks, so keep that in mind.

This huge mural which was saved from a luxury hotel that was being torn down after the 1985 earthquake is over 15 meters long. A chart identifies each and every figure. Definitely pay the small extra charge to take pictures. Free admission on Sunday.

Showcasing a large but only 1 mural by Diego Rivera. If nearby, worth a look but I was underwhelmed. Also annoying to charge an additional 35 MXN for a "photo permit" in addition to the 35 MXN entrance fee. More interesting murals by Diego Rivera can be found in the Palacio Bellas Artes at the other end of Alameda Central

We toured the area with a personal guide and spent a good bit of time at this museum. There are several murals in addition to the Diego murals. Very big and impressive murals. A visit to MX City is not compete without experiencing these murals and their impact. Generally the themes are about class struggle technology raising up the average person. Contrasting this theme with today's economic divide leads one to dwell on our current situation. Time here is definitely time well spent. And the surrounding park is a great respite from MXC traffic.

Although there are two floors and various exhibits, there really is only one thing to see, and that’s a Diego Rivera mural that was rescued from a hotel that had collapsed during the 1985 earthquake (it had been moved there from an earlier building). The mural shows the entire history of Mexico from conquest through independence, with every historical figure represented. If you have a tour guide, this museum could easily take an hour; otherwise you can see it more quickly.

This museum consists of a single mural. Spectacular mural by Diego Rivera. Unfortunately due to Covid most of his murals are not available to be seen by the public but this one is. I am so glad we spent a few minutes going to see this mural. It is hard to imagine the expansiveness of his work without seeing it in person.
