Polyforum Cultural Siqueiros, Cultural center in Colonia Nápoles, Mexico City.
Description
The Polyforum Cultural Siqueiros is a multi-purpose cultural center in Mexico City with a distinctive diamond-shaped design. The building features ten sides and displays large murals across its exterior walls that cover much of its surface.
History
The space was created in the 1960s when a businessman commissioned the artist David Alfaro Siqueiros to design a new cultural center. The original project was moved from another city to Mexico City, where it eventually took its current form.
Culture
The building is named after the artist David Alfaro Siqueiros and reflects his belief that art should express human experience and social change. Today, the space hosts exhibitions and performances that engage with artistic and social topics.
Practical
The center is located in an easily accessible neighborhood and can be reached by public transportation. Visitors should plan time to explore the interior spaces and view the large murals within.
