EXCLUSIVE TOUR at the Diego Rivera Anahuacalli Museum - small groups

The Anahuacalli Museum, also known as the Diego Rivera Museum, is a must-visit destination located in the southern part of Mexico City CDMX. The name Anahuacalli comes from the Nahuatl language, meaning house surrounded by water, reflecting the rich cultural and spiritual significance of the site. The museum offers visitors a fascinating journey through time, showcasing a remarkable collection of pre Hispanic art. These artifacts, amassed by Rivera over his lifetime, represent the diverse cultures that flourished in Mesoamerica, from the ancient Olmecs to the Aztecs, and more.

The museum is more than just a collection of art, it’s a true temple for the arts, designed by Rivera as a city of the arts. At the heart of the Anahuacalli Museum is a central plaza, which includes an open-air theater and an art gallery, providing a platform for cultural expression. The architecture of the building is also exceptional, constructed from volcanic stone, which gives the museum a unique and striking appearance. The design of the building evokes the spirit of a teocalli, or pre Hispanic energy house, drawing visitors into an immersive experience where they can connect with the cultural and historical essence of the region. It’s a space where visitors not only view art but also feel the energy and heritage that Rivera sought to preserve through his lifelong passion for the artistic legacy of Mesoamerica.
