2021 - Mexico City - 46 - Palacio Bellas Artes Line #2 Metro Station Entrance

Wandering on the west side of Bellas Artes is this metro station entrance.

 

This gate was a gift from the Paris Metro to the Mexico City Metro on November 14, 1998, in reciprocity for the donation by the Mexican Metro of a Huichol Mural (The Huichole Thought and Soul by Mexican shaman Santos de la Torre Santiago).

 

The mural was installed on October 6, 1997 at the Parisian metro station Palais Royal - Musée du Louvre Paris.

 

French President Jacques Chirac inaugurated a treasured Hector Guimard style art nouveau Paris Métro entrance next to the western wing of the Palacio Bellas Artes 14 November 1998.
