Diego Rivera designed and built this extraordinary volcanic-stone pyramid to house his personal collection of over 50,000 pre-Columbian artifacts, and the building is as much a work of art as anything inside it. The dark, cave-like interior creates an almost sacred atmosphere, and Rivera's own studio at the top offers views over southern Mexico City. It's genuinely unlike any other museum in the city — deeply personal, architecturally radical, and surprisingly uncrowded. The Day of the Dead celebrations here are legendary and worth planning a trip around.
