Mexico city

Palacio de Bellas Artes

This huge marble theater you will find close to the Alemda park. They perform theatersplays and orcestral performances. Inside you will find huge pictures of Rufino Tamayo, Diego Riveras, Siquentios and Orozcos Gerardo Murillo, some of the most famous mexican painters, The president wanted to have the house finised in 1910 to celebrate the 100-aniversary ofthe start for the independence. But the ground was too weak for such heavy building, so the work had to be stopped, and that is why the building was finised in 1934. The outside is new classical style, while inside is Art Deco. Very interesting style. I present some of these exiting pictures here.
