ZOCALO again, DIEGO'S STUDIO, CONDESA

Originally a Jesuit school in the late 16th century, Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso became a preparatory school for the university and in the 1920s the government sponsored murals with historical or political themes, by Orozco, Rivera and others. Today it is a university museum near Templo Mayor, housing much contemporary art work.

Orozco:  Law and Justice

Orozco:  The Banquet of the Rich

Orozco:  Cortes and mistress

Sadly, my Mexico uploads end here as our cabin bag with computer was stolen at Quito airport.  All our photos for the last 2 days in Mexico City are gone.  Our Ecuador photos for Guango, San Isidro and Napo are also lost.  Heartbreaking!
