Palacio de Bellas Artes

The national theater and fine arts museum, built in white Carrara marble from 1904 to 1934 and crowned by a spectacular Art Nouveau dome of stained glass depicting the Valley of Mexico, houses the definitive collection of Mexican muralism including works by Rivera, Orozco, Siqueiros, and Tamayo. The Tiffany glass curtain of the theater depicting the volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl is lowered only for the Ballet Folklórico performance.
