The concept behind Expendio de Maíz is rural food, is a journey to the roots of part of Mexican food, and is the perfect place to learn about tortillas as, if you fancy so, you can mill and knead your own.
Also, after living the "maíz" (corn) experience, you can move next door to the Parnita or Páramo for a drink in a hip place with an atmosphere.

This is a small museum with few works, but it is definitely one where you will see Rivera's mastery on muralism, especially "Sueño de una tarde dominical en la Alameda Central"
Muralism is one of the most important art expression in Mexico, starting in the 1920s, generally with social and political messages as part of efforts to reunify the country under the post-Mexican Revolution government. It was headed by “the big three” painters, Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros.
Here is a link to a Mexican Muralism route in the city. It's an excellent option for a day tour on a bike.

For a more specific collection of Mexican art produced between the late 16th century and mid-20th century, the neo-classical Museo Nacional de Arte (MUNAL) is an essential visit for anyone in Mexico City.
We love the José María Velasco Gómez collection. Especially the painting of the Mexico Valley at the exact moment when the Aztecs saw the eagle eating a snake on a nopal cactus, the reason why they decided to found Tenochtitlán City on this place, so you can get a clear image of the magnificent landscape before Mexico City; a lake in the middle of the valley, surrounded by mountains and volcanos.
