Worth visiting. The place is gorgeous and the murals are great. I can just imagine how lucky students were to attend school at this place.

Nice place with cool activities.
Must go on the museum nights and take a workshop of spoken word, really good teachers.

If you like murales, you can’t miss this place! Always interesting to see art exhibitions. The architecture of the palazzo is wonderful too. Closed on Mondays

One of the most beautiful buildings in the Centro Historico. Originally a high school, this museum has dozens of murals from Rivera and other famous Mexican artists from the 1920s to the 1940s. Exhibitions change all the time but they are usually about great topics.

Rivera's first mural is here and I loved the other works by Siquieros and others. Definitely worth the trip especially since the presidential palace is closed.

This place is very close to the zócalo, it's beautiful with striking murals from the most famous muralists in Mexico. The building Idris is full of history, one very related to the Mexican academia, there's one room in particular that it shows all the ceremony needed when future doctors (PhD) presented their final exam.

Such a beautiful experience I had here with my family. The guided tours are just incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The 'murales' of San Idelfonso are exquisite ????
