El Charco del Ingenio Botanical Garden
Visitors to Mexico's cities have likely encountered numerous grand murals depicting images of traditional life and epic scenes of the country's history. However, in the Bellas Artes Cultural Center you can see what one of these works of art looks like before it's complete. In a cavernous room of this former convent, muralist David Alfaro Siquieros left an unfinished work still sporting perspective lines and other visual aids that would have been hidden once the piece was completed. #Perspectives #art
