Before noon we borded the bus and went to visit the Polyforum, a ROUND theater with incredible acoustic and the most amazing murals by Siqueiros. http://www.polyforumsiqueiros.com/espanol/menu.htm
Then we visited "el Museo de Dolores Olmedo." http://www.museodoloresolmedo.org.mx/
She studied art with Frida Kahlo but they disliked each other very much since they competed for the attention and love of Diego Rivera. Dolores was a wealthy artist and a great supporter of the arts. The museum is in what used to be her home/hacienda. The place is amazing and the art, Diego and Frida's, wonderful.
