On the Grid : Museo Anahuacalli
"Anahuacalli Diego Rivera Museum, built in 1963, is a jewel lost in the less touristy part of Coyoacán. It is an impressive stone temple-house, that Diego Rivera had built to make room for his collection of more than 59,000 pre-Columbian pieces. Anahuacalli is a Nahuatl word that means “The House of Anahuac” (known as the Valley of Mexico since pre-Hispanic times). It is a mystical place where they accommodate diverse artistic expressions like theatre, dance, painting and music. If you are lucky enough to visit this museum on the Day of the Dead, you’ll enjoy a massive “ofrenda” (offering) mounted in honor of Diego Rivera." - Leolab
