Diego Rivera's Mural Legacy Celebrated at Museo Vivo del Muralismo During School Break

The Museo Vivo del Muralismo (MVM) is showcasing Diego Rivera's extensive collection during the school break. Located within the Secretariat of Public Education (SEP) building in Mexico City, the museum houses over 200 panels, overdoors, grisaille paintings, and transcriptions of revolutionary poems and corridos.

Education Secretary Mario Delgado encourages educational communities to explore Rivera's aesthetic legacy. The SEP building, inaugurated in 1922, features murals spanning 3,139 square meters.

Rivera's murals depict Mexican festivities, including the Day of the Dead and the corn festival. They also portray dances, trades, education, and social struggles, incorporating revolutionary phrases and poems.

The MVM will be open on select dates during the school break, offering a chance to view Rivera's work. Visitors can explore the artist's vision of a people's protagonist through these murals.
