Working with museum educators, you’ll enjoy a guided tour of the exhibition and hear suggestions on how to use Rivera’s art and social impact as the center of lessons in science, math, writing/language arts, social studies, and art.

About Diego Rivera’s America

Developed by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), Diego Rivera’s America examines a prolific time in the artist’s life through over 170 works, including his drawings, easel paintings, frescoes, and more. Between the early 1920s and the early 1940s, Rivera worked in both Mexico and the United States and found inspiration in the social and cultural life of the two countries. He imagined an America—broadly understood—that shared an Indigenous past and an industrial future, and where cooperation, rather than divisions, were paramount.
