The eclectic collection spans hundreds of years and includes ceramics, textiles and photographs, as well as documents from Rivera and Kahlo’s personal archives
The project that Diego Rivera envisioned as a future “city of the arts” in southern Mexico City has received its biggest boost in decades from the artist’s grandson. Juan Rafael Coronel Rivera donated 157,300 pieces from his own private collection to the Museo Anahuacalli in a move that expands the institution’s holdings and revives the cultural vision conceived by his famous grandfather.
