7 Biggest Surprises in Mexico City
| June 17, 2016
Art is embraced
Mexico City has art everywhere, it is inescapable.
Whether I am wandering the streets and admiring the gorgeous graffiti that seems to spring up everywhere, or enjoying the galleries of any of the number of fabulous museums, the artistic vibe of Mexico City is evident. Particularly notable is the easy access to art – many of Mexico City’s best museums are free to enter, including Polanco’s stunning Museo Soumaya. Public buildings from the ministry of education to the national palace are decorated with murals by greats such as Diego Rivera.
Speaking of Diego Rivera, the renowned artist’s image even decorates the 500 Peso bill, along with his wife, and fellow artist, Frida Kahlo.
