Living Museum of Muralism

Where the mural isn't just something to look at… it's something to experience, to paint, and to transform

AREA

What Makes It Special?

This museum is dedicated to preserving and promoting the tradition of Mexican muralism as a form of artistic, historical, and social expression. Unlike other venues, here the murals are not just viewed: they are experienced, created, and reinterpreted together with the community.

Did You Know…?

It is located in the former headquarters of the Federal Electricity Commission, in a building that has been repurposed by cultural groups. The museum features historic murals, contemporary artworks, and spaces for workshops, gatherings, and collaborative projects.

Don’t Miss

Check to see if there are any activities open to the public: they often organize guided tours, workshops on mural painting, stenciling, or printmaking, and talks on art and resistance. It’s a place with a vibrant spirit and brushes in motion.
