Before going to the MAP, go through the Diego Rivera Mural Museum, which houses a single work, miraculously saved: it was at the Hotel del Prado, which was destroyed during the gigantic earthquake of 1985. Restored, it sits in this museum built especially for her. This gigantic fresco is called Sueño de una tarde Sunday in Alameda Central (Dream of a Sunday afternoon on the Alameda). It brings together 150 emblematic characters from Mexico’s 400-year history; a masterful work signed by one of the great masters of Mexican muralism!
