Sueño de una Tarde Dominical en la Alameda Central, Monumental mural at Museo Mural Diego Rivera, Mexico City
The 15.6-meter-wide mural depicts numerous historical figures from Mexican history walking through Alameda Central park during a Sunday afternoon.
Following damage from the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, the mural was carefully removed from Hotel Del Prado and transferred to its current location.
The central figure La Catrina, created by Jose Guadalupe Posada, stands with Diego Rivera as a child and Frida Kahlo, representing Mexican identity.
The museum provides detailed explanations in multiple languages about the 150 characters portrayed in the mural, from pre-Hispanic times to the 20th century.
Rivera initially included text reading 'God does not exist' in the mural, which remained covered for nine years until he agreed to remove it.
