A Mural Extravaganza in Mexico City

Mexico is, of course, renowned for its rich tradition of muralism, and we went straight from the airport to see some of the most splendid examples: Diego Rivera's extraordinary History of Mexico sequence installed in the Palacio Nacional in Mexico City. We've seen many more since that morning—it has been a mural extravaganza! At the Palacio de Bellas Artes we were lucky to go behind the scenes with Deputy Director Daniel Lozano Maya, who's shown here explaining Rivera's complex 1934 masterpiece Man, Controller of the Universe.
