Instituto Cultural Cabañas
Instituto Cultural Cabañas Review
Spanish architect-sculptor Manuel Tolsá designed this neoclassical-style cultural center. Originally a shelter for widows, the elderly, and orphans, the Instituto's 106 rooms and 23 flower-filled patios now house art exhibitions (ask for an English-speaking guide). The main chapel displays murals by José Clemente Orozco 1938-39, including The Man of Fire, his masterpiece. In all, there are 57 murals by Orozco, plus many of his smaller paintings, cartoons, and drawings. Kids can wonder at the murals and investigate the labyrinthine compound.
