Palacio de la Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Obras Públicas, Government palace in Centro Histórico, Mexico City, Mexico

The building transformed into the National Art Museum in 1982, housing significant collections of Mexican art and historical artifacts.

The metal structure was manufactured by Milliken Brothers from New York, while European factories produced various facade elements.
