Mexican folkloric ballet

Luxurious marble Palace of Fine Arts was built in the period from 1905 to 1934. The National Opera and the Symphony Orchestra are housed here. Twice a week the gorgeous Mexican folkloric ballet (Ballet Folklórico de México) performs here.

The glass curtain produced by Tiffany `s in New York is particularly notable in here. It depicts the volcanoes Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl.
