Highlights
If you want to talk about the artistic dynamics of modern Mexico, the possible end of muralism, and the student revolts of 1968, you must visit this world heritage site: UNAM. We will meet at the rector's building, right in front of the UNESCO commemorative plaque. From there we will enter the campus to analyze the murals of Siqueiros, O'Gorman, Chávez Morado and Eppens. Along the way we will also talk about the genesis of education in the country, the student revolts, and the value of the university in today's Mexico. Finally we will head to the Olympic University Stadium to see the mural "The university, the family and sports in Mexico" by Diego Rivera.

About Mexico City
Mexico City is a vast, high-altitude capital built over the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, rich in museums, murals, markets and outstanding food.
The Zócalo, one of the largest squares in the world, is framed by the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace, where Diego Rivera's murals tell the story of Mexico. Beside them, the excavated Templo Mayor reveals the heart of the Aztec capital, and the Palacio de Bellas Artes, with its marble exterior and Art Deco interior, stands a short walk west.
Top-ranked sights in Mexico City: Teotihuacán, Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Frida Kahlo Museum (Museo Frida Kahlo).
