Located in the screes of Coyoacán, south of Mexico City, the museum offers its visitors a unique multisensory experience. It is not only a place to observe art but to feel it, live it and connect deeply with the cultural roots of Mexico. The museum, whose name in Nahuatl means “house surrounded by water,” was imagined by Rivera as a space of harmonious coexistence between tradition and modernity.

In addition, a series of conferences will be held on the social and architectural impact of Anahuacalli with the participation of Dirk Denison and Sandra Barclay, members of the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize, who recently recognized the museum's architecture and social vocation and will offer a deep insight into how the museum has influenced the community and cultural landscape of Mexico.
