Museo Anahuacalli
Rivera designed this as a temple for his collection; O'Gorman built it from black pedregal lava. Stone stairs, low ceilings, shafts of light — it feels excavated, not built.
Diego Rivera and O'Gorman's fortress-museum of black volcanic stone — a modern pyramid with mosaic ceilings and dim, cave-like rooms. Utterly singular.
