Worth it?

First-time visitors to the Centro Histórico should put this on the list, whether they lean toward art, architecture or performance. Inside are permanent murals by Diego Rivera and Rufino Tamayo, plus the National Museum of Architecture on the top floor, and the Ballet Folklórico de México is based here. For the outside view of the marble facade and crystal roof, head to the café in the nearby Sears. Both creators who rated it gave full marks.
