I have seen the murals in Bellas Artes and in the Palacio in CDMX. Such a shame the current government has closed the National Palace to the public and Diego Rivera’s beautiful murals are no longer accessible.

My favorite one day escape in Michoacan is to the Isla Janitzio by boat and then up the staircase to the plaza with the huge statue of Jose Maria Morelos. The José María Morelos statue on Isla de Janitzio features stunning murals depicting key moments from Morelos’ life and Mexico’s independence movement. These murals, created by Ramón Alva de la Canal, are spread across 56 panels inside the statue, telling the story of this Mexican hero’s journey. The statue itself is a massive 47.75 meters tall, symbolizing Morelos’ triumph and legacy. As you climb the spiral staircase, you’ll get to experience these incredible murals firsthand, making the visit an unforgettable experience…. 💯
