A Masterpiece of Mexican Muralism: Orozco at Hospicio Cabanas in Guadalajara, Mexico | A Guided Tour

Описание: One of the Most Beautiful Places to See in all of Mexico is the Hospicio Cabanas in Guadalajara -- Mexico's 2nd largest city. This former orphanage-turned-museum is Mexico's answer to the Sistine Chapel.

This is a tour of the spectacular murals inside--some of the most important in all of art history.

It was here that the great master muralist Jose Clemente Orozco (One of the Big 3, like Diego Rivera) created his greatest masterpiece -- painting the stunning Neoclassical chapel of the local orphanage with epic and controversial stories from Mexican history.

Take an in-depth guided tour with me of all 57 Murals inside this masterpiece, including the "Man on Fire" ("Hombre en Llamas") in the center that carries you up to heaven. This is the ONLY video or guide available for ALL the Orozco murals inside the Hospicio Cabanas!
