La Tallera
About This Museum
People don't just come to La Tallera to see art; they come to step inside the vibrant, radical world of David Alfaro Siqueiros. The main draw is the stunning mural hall, where his epic works wrap around you on all sides, pulling you directly into the narrative. Upstairs, the massive murals are visible from a balcony, offering a breathtaking new perspective that makes you appreciate their sheer scale. It feels less like a sterile gallery and more like an active workshop, buzzing with the enduring energy of its creator.
Collection Highlights
The twin murals 'The March of Humanity' are the undeniable heart of the place, but don't miss his fascinating political workshop prints and the constantly changing contemporary exhibits in the adjacent galleries that continue his dialog with society.
Visitor Information
It's on Venus street in Cuernavaca—a city Siqueiros loved for its light—and it's absolutely worth the trip from Mexico City for a day. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, a perfect reflection of its Morelos setting.
Architecture & Building
The building itself was Siqueiros's home and studio, so it has a raw, functional feel that's been masterfully updated. The clean, modern intervention by architect Frida Escobedo contrasts with the historic structure, creating a serene courtyard and spaces that let the powerful art take center stage.
