The Detroit Institute of Arts houses yet another stunning work by Rivera - a detailed section from his automotive industry mural.

Juan O Gorman's mural depicting Miguel Hidalgo's call for revolution on September 16th, 1810 is another powerful representation of Mexican history. It captures the spirit and bravery that fueled Mexico's fight for independence against colonial rule. Returning to Diego Rivera’s "Detroit" mural at The Detroit Institute of Arts reveals its central scene - an awe-inspiring depiction highlighting every aspect of American automobile production during that era.
