La Tallera is a museum and cultural center situated in the city of Cuernavaca, Mexico. It was established by the renowned artist David Alfaro Siqueiros, who envisioned it as a place where new painting techniques, materials, geometric aspects, and perspectives could be explored. The museum is a testament to Siqueiros' vision and his contribution to the world of muralism.
The building that houses La Tallera was designed and built by David Alfaro Siqueiros in 1965. It was not only a space for his large-format pictorial production but also served as his home during the last nine years of his life. The building's design reflects Siqueiros' artistic vision and personal needs, making it a unique architectural piece.
One of the unique features of La Tallera is the way it opens up to the city. The museum's courtyard was opened to an adjacent square by rotating a series of murals from their original position. This innovative design decision creates a public space that enhances the museum experience and integrates it with the surrounding urban environment.
