Do you want to know in depth the work of Diego Rivera? The SEP, today called Museo vivo del Muralismo is an enclosure with more than 280 murals by the best artists in Mexico. We'll meet on the first floor of the museum. From there we will walk through the three levels of the building: the first dedicated to trades and traditions, the second to shields, and the third to corrido-poems, and the Russian and Mexican revolution. In each we will analyze Rivera’s pictorial development over the years, as well as the obsessions and fears of the time. Then we will visit the extension of the building where the giant murals of David Siqueiros lie. These could be listed among the largest murals, in size and importance, in Mexico City. Finally, we will tour the rooms dedicated to indigenous murals, ceramics, the convent, and reproductions of several important works in modern Mexico.

Can’t miss this 6-star tour!!!!
If we could give this tour 6 stars we would. Our guide, Jose, is a deep dive in Diego Rivera’s murals, history and culture. This 17th century neoclassical convent made the tour all the richer. We all learned so much from him. It is obvious he loves this subject and sharing with others. Don’t hesitate to book this highlight tour and ask for Jose!!!

FREE with amazing murals
Diego Rivera's Murals cover the first floor of the Living Museum of Murals. Entrance is FREE. Just requires a visitor log in. On the second floor stairway is an amazing exhibit of Siqueiros. The buildings architecture is amazing and was the former headquarters fir the Ministry of Public Education.

No need to pay four a tour!
You can get a free tour in English at this museum at noon. There is no charge for entry and the guides work for the museum. It’s a fabulous collection of murals and the guides are excellent. Great activity to do on a Monday in CDMX.

Diego Rivera at the Living Museum of Muralism: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Diego Rivera at the Living Museum of Muralism cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Diego Rivera at the Living Museum of Muralism take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.
Is Diego Rivera at the Living Museum of Muralism worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Diego Rivera at the Living Museum of Muralism?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Diego Rivera at the Living Museum of Muralism suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Diego Rivera at the Living Museum of Muralism?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Diego Rivera at the Living Museum of Muralism start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mexico City?
+
On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Teotihuacan 3 Pyramids Tour + Hotel Pick Up + Lunch at La Gruta, Historic Center Essentials: Mexico City Downtown Walking Tour, PREMIUM Frida Kahlo Museum and Xochimilco (Small Groups). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mexico City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mexico City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Diego Rivera at the Living Museum of Muralism?
+
Included: bilingual guide. Not included: Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Diego Rivera at the Living Museum of Muralism?
+
We meet inside the museum, on the first floor by the door. The guide will have a Mexican flag. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Diego Rivera at the Living Museum of Muralism offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Portuguese, English, Italian and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Diego Rivera at the Living Museum of Muralism?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Diego Rivera at the Living Museum of Muralism if the weather is bad?
