Cárcamo de Dolores, Hydraulic structure and museum in Chapultepec Park, Mexico City.
The Cárcamo de Dolores combines a water distribution facility with a museum space featuring murals and artistic installations about water systems.
Built in 1951 to mark the completion of the Lerma System in 1943, this structure played a central role in Mexico City's water distribution network.
Diego Rivera created an underwater mural titled 'Water, Source of Life' inside the building and designed the monumental Tlaloc fountain outside.
Located at Avenida Rodolfo Neri Vela in Chapultepec's Second Section, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The building houses a sound installation by Ariel Guzik called Cámara Lambdoma, where acoustic waves reflect throughout the interior space.
