About this experience

What to expect

Explore the heart of Mexico’s artistic heritage on this guided tour of the Museo Nacional de Arte (MUNAL), located in a neoclassical building in Mexico City’s historic center. The museum houses an exceptional collection of Mexican art from the 16th to the early 20th century. Led by an expert guide, you’ll discover masterpieces that reflect the country’s evolution—from colonial rule to independence and early modernism. Admire José María Velasco’s iconic Valley of Mexico, Saturnino Herrán’s La Leyenda de los Volcanes, the landscapes of Dr. Atl. You'll explore works by Diego Rivera, Joaquín Clausell and learn how their art shaped national identity. Special attention is given to pioneering women artists such as María Izquierdo and Olga Costa, whose La Vendedora de Frutas stands as a cultural landmark. This tour offers a rare opportunity to dive deep into the artistic, political, and cultural movements that have shaped Mexico’s visual identity.
