The Abelardo L. Rodriguez Market is a traditional public market located
in the historic center of Mexico City, northeast of the main plaza, or Zocalo.
However, the market's most distinctive feature is the approximately 1,450 square metres
of wall and ceiling space covered in murals. These murals were painted by muralists,
some former Diego Rivera helpers. Rivera had a role in approving artist designs, but
little else. The works mostly reflect socialist themes, such as the exploitation
of workers, peasants and miners, the fight against Nazism and fascism, and racial discrimination.
