Destinations

The crown jewel of Mexican art and performance

From Diego Rivera’s bold murals to the world-class ballet folklórico, this iconic venue is as breathtaking as the art it houses.

The Museo del Palacio des Belles Artes is the national forum for performing arts in Mexico. The “Cathedral of Art in Mexico” is best known for its murals by Diego Rivera and Siqueiros, as well as the many exhibitions and theatrical performances it hosts.

Insider Insight

While most visitors come for the architecture or Rivera’s murals, time your visit with a live performance to truly experience its magic. The Tiffany glass curtain alone is worth the ticket. For a quieter encounter, arrive at opening time and head straight to the second-floor murals.

A living monument where Mexico’s artistic soul takes center stage.
