Can you tell me where this painting is located? Just one hint... it is NOT in Mexico City.
Good luck!
¡Buena suerte!
UPDATE - We have a winner! Once again Joan has answered correctly. This mural, considered one of Rivera's masterpieces, is located at the Chapingo Autonomous University, located about 25 miles northeast of Mexico City on the outskirts of the city of Texcoco.
The university is considered the most prestigious agricultural school in the country. The campus is on the site of an old hacienda.
The former hacienda chapel is now an assembly hall where university ceremonies are held. Diego Rivera was commissioned to paint the walls and ceiling of the hall. The murals were painted between 1924 and 1927.
Congratulations to Joan!
Chapingo, Texcoco ??

Where we're starting to wonder if Joan hasn't secretly hacked your computer.
Joan has mentioned that she has frequently traveled to Mexico, and is a big fan of the country.
