Diego Rivera Museum Anahuacalli

Diego Rivera Museum Anahuacalli is built of black volcanic stone and has the shape of a pyramid.

This museum was conceived and built by monumental artist Diego Rivera, who was guided by his interest in Mexican culture.

The building forms Teocalli, which means “house of energy”. The design of the museum was significantly influenced by the culture of Teotihuacan, as evidenced by the image of the rain god Tlaloc recreated in the center of the main hall.

The museum presents funerary urns, masks, sculptures, as well as many other objects of different ancient civilizations of the world.
