Diego Rivera's Anahuacalli Museum Celebrates 60 Years
The unique museum in Mexico City showcases Rivera's extensive pre-Hispanic art collection and Mexica-inspired architecture.
- The Anahuacalli Museum houses 60,000 pre-Hispanic artifacts, many representing ancient deities.
- Designed by Rivera, the museum's pyramid structure reflects the Mexica worldview with distinct earthly, celestial, and underworld levels.
- The museum is located in an ecological reserve, preserving local flora and fauna with its volcanic rock construction.
- Rivera and Kahlo originally envisioned the site as their final resting place, but their remains are elsewhere.
- A new exhibition by Pedro Reyes, inspired by Rivera's work, will be on display from September 13 to January 2025.
