It includes an Ecological Space, composed of flora and fauna native to the volcanic soil of the place. On the Anahuacalli’s first floor, there is a space called the Studio, designed by the muralist as his personal workspace. It is the tallest and largest room in the building, illuminated through a massive window that provides abundant natural light. The Studio showcases sketches created by Diego Rivera for his renowned murals, alongside pre-Columbian art pieces distinguished by their naturalistic figuration. The permanent exhibition of this exceptional Museum is the most beautiful pre-Columbian sculptures from Rivera's collection. Likewise, samples of contemporary Mexican and international art are presented in the Anahuacalli, harmoniously alternating with its architecture and with the Mesoamerican art on display.
