Mexico City's Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso, a former Jesuit college, became the birthplace of Mexico's muralist movement in the early 20th century. The murals, created by artists such as Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, and Fermín Revueltas, reflect the country's post-colonial culture and history, including the Indigenous population, political leaders, and the Catholic Church. The murals also celebrate Mexico's ancient cultures while rejecting the violence brought by the Spanish conquest. Today, the building serves as a museum and hosts exhibitions that honor the old masters and inspire contemporary muralists.
