Activity itinerary

National Museum of Mexican Art (Pass by)

The Pilsen Mural Tour is a 60-minute walk through some of the neighborhoods’ most iconic pieces of public art. We will travel through 50 years of murals that colorfully express the history, struggles, and culture of the Mexican community in Pilsen. We’ll discuss the political and socio-economic role of murals in this resilient community which is currently facing tough challenges in the city’s changing landscape. With over 40 years of collective experience, veteran mural guide and Pilsen resident, Luis Tubens will share the stories of how Pilsen became the neighborhood with the highest concentration of murals in the Midwest. Lace up your walking shoes because you are about to travel into a vibrant gallery of walls covered in culture.
