Part of Day 5 of our art tour, we visit Anahuacalli Museum near Coyoacan. Commissioned by Diego and Frida and built out of volcanic rock in the form of a Pyramid.
The museum houses their collection of over 50,000 pre-Hispanic pieces as a gift for the Mexican people.
Diego and Frida wanted to stop the ancient artworks from be plundered by foreign archeologists.
This museum is often overlooked, but it would be a shame to miss seeing everything in it and what it stands for.
The building is an art piece in itself, even the ceilings are decorated with mosaic indigenous symbols.
