Diego Rivera mural

Today we went to the Diego Rivera mural at City College SF which he painted on Treasure Island in 1940. The guide was great and gave a comprehensive explanation of the work - it was a tour of North America, really. It's titled Pan American Unity. As far as our Mexico study is concerned, it put everything into context, past and present, north and south. Worth the visit!

Outside the theater which houses the mural is a replica of an Olmec head - prominent in the presentation that Kaia recently did. This city is amazing.
