TRANSPORTATION, SAFETY AND HEALTH TIPS Mexico City is a vibrant, bustling metropolis that attracts millions of visitors from across the globe every year. As with most cities, visitors should not be overly concerned with their safety, however, it is still necessary to take precautions when traveling to a new destination as a tourist. » Travel through the city with someone local and in groups. » Be aware of fast moving vehicles, traffic patterns including one way streets and bus lanes. Do not assume that a green light means that it is safe to go; double check incoming traffic from all directions. » Be on guard while moving through the airport and other crowded areas. » Use Uber. Do not hail taxis from the street, use buses or use the STC/Metro. » Don't travel around with valuables or large sums of money; do not take out cash from ATMs at night. » Take it slow. Mexico City's elevation is very high at 2,200 meters above sea level; consider packing medication if you tend to experience symptoms at high altitudes. » It's unsafe to drink tap water. When dining in restaurants, you can request free filtered water by asking for "agua de garrafon." » Use discretion if you decide to consume street food--consult with locals before eating at particular locations, pick places that have longer lines and observe how food is being prepared, cooked and stored. » Refrain from going out to bars or nightclubs at night on your own; travel in a group or with a local peer. » If you ever have doubts or questions, reach out to your designated EO Mexican Brother Advisor (MBA) who will be happy to help you in any way! » If you have an urgent need during your visit and need local assistance, please contact Yokebed Rivera at +5215525761263 or [email protected].

  • Gallery of Mexican Art
    V oices ofMerico /January • March, 1995 41 Gallery of Mexican Art n the early the 1930s, Carolina and Inés Amor decided to give Mexico City an indispensable tool for promoting the fine arts in whatI was, at that time, an unusual way. They created a space where artists not only showed their art, but could also sell directly to people who liked their work. It was a place which gave Mexico City a modem, cosmopolitan air, offering domestic and international collectors the work of Mexico's artistic vanguard. The Gallery of Mexican Art was founded in 1935 by Carolina Amor, who worked for the publicity department at the Palace of Fine Arts before opening the gallery. That job had allowed her to form close ties with the artists of the day and to learn about their needs. In an interview, "Carito" —as she was called by her friends— recalled a statement by the then director of the Palace of Fine Arts, dismissing young artists who did not follow prevailing trends: "Experimental theater is a diversion for a small minority, chamber music a product of the court and easel painting a decoration for the salons of the rich." At that point Carolina felt her work in that institution had come to an end, and she decided to resign. She decided to open a gallery, based on a broader vision, in the basement of her own house, which her father had used as his studio. At that time, the concept of the gallery per se did not exist. The only thing approaching it was Alberto Misrachi's bookstore, which had an The gallery has a beautiful patio.

  • The Blue House: the Intimate Universe of Frida Kahlo
    The Blue House: The Intimate Universe of Frida Kahlo “Never in life will I forget your presence. You found me torn apart and you took me back full and complete.” Frida Kahlo By delving into the knowledge of Frida Kahlo's legacy, one discovers the intense relationship that exists between Frida, her work and her home. Her creative universe is to be found in the Blue House, the place where she was born and where she died. Following her marriage to Diego Rivera, Frida lived in different places in Mexico City and abroad, but she always returned to her family home in Coyoacan. Located in one of the oldest and most beautiful neighborhoods in Mexico City, the Blue House was made into a museum in 1958, four years after the death of the painter. Today it is one of the most visited museums in the Mexican capital. Popularly known as the Casa Azul (the ‘Blue House’), the Museo Frida Kahlo preserves the personal objects that reveal the private universe of Latin America’s most celebrated woman artist. The Blue House also contains some of the painter’s most important works: Long Live Life (1954), Frida and the Caesarian Operation (1931), and Portrait of My Father Wilhelm Kahlo (1952), among others. In the room she used during the day is the bed with the mirror on the ceiling, set up by her mother after the bus accident in which Frida was involved on her way home from the National Preparatory School. During her long convalescence, while she was bedridden for nine months, Frida began to paint portraits.

The park also has a monument dedicated to Beethoven in commemoration of the centenary of the Ninth Symphony, which was donated by the German by Bodhisattwa community.

Society (ARS), New York. Jacques and Natasha Gelman were important collectors of 20th century art. Arriving in Mexico as Eastern European immigrants, they fell in love with their adopted homeland and built a collection of Mexican modern art by acquiring the works of major artists including Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, José Clemente Orozco, as well as many others. The twentieth century was a tumultuous time in Mexican art and history. During this period after the Mexican Revolution, Mexican artists created a new Mexican aesthetic through exploration of styles like social realism, surrealism, abstraction and conceptualism and by incorporating a uniquely Mexican iconography. This bibliography includes titles about the Gelman’s collection as well as books exploring the lives and art of several artists represented in this collection. To contextualize this collection, titles on modern art in Mexico and Mexican history in the twentieth century are included in the section Explore More.
