Orozco murals restored

Some of Jose Clemente Orozco’s fabled murals are gleaming once again.  

Restoration work on the murals he painted in the “Paraninfo” – located in the old Universidad de Guadalajara rectory building (which also houses the Museo de las Artes or Musa) on Avenida Juarez – was completed this week.

The earthquake on May 11, 2016 left cracks in some of the murals gracing this historic hall that hosts many of the university’s formal ceremonies.  A visit to Musa should always be accompanied by a peek at these striking murals.
