The Anahuacalli Museum (from the Nahuatl for “house surrounded by water”), also known as the Diego Rivera Museum, is a must-see destination in the south of CDMX. It offers a journey through time with an invaluable collection of pieces accumulated to create a true temple for the arts.
At the Diego Rivera Anahuacalli Museum, visitors can explore a permanent exhibition of pre-Hispanic art that represents the various cultures that flourished in Mesoamerica. These works reflect Rivera's passion for the region's artistic heritage, which he has collected throughout his life.
Conceived as a city of the arts, Anahuacalli features a central plaza complete with an open-air theater and art gallery. This exceptional place stands out for its architecture and design, built from volcanic stone that evokes a teocalli or pre-Hispanic energy house, inviting visitors to connect with the cultural spirit of the past.
Begin your experience with an introduction to the Coyoacán area, the Pedregal de San Ángel, and the city's local towns and neighborhoods, as you tour the complex of buildings among architecture embedded in a rugged environment. They will also talk, of course, about the authors of the site, Diego Rivera and Juan O'Gorman, among other characters. Finally, begin your tour of the main building and go through all the levels of the universe according to the Mesoamerican worldview.
