Palacio de Bellas Artes, Art museum and cultural center in Historic Center, Mexico
The marble-clad Palacio de Bellas Artes combines Art Nouveau exterior architecture with Art Deco interior design across multiple exhibition halls and a theater.
Construction started in 1904 but halted during the Mexican Revolution, leading to its completion thirty years later under architect Federico Mariscal in 1934.
The museum displays large murals by Mexican artists Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco depicting national identity and social movements.
Located near Alameda Central park, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with ticket sales closing at 17:30.
The building required special engineering solutions due to Mexico City's soft soil, causing it to sink 4.5 meters since its construction.
