UNAM Central Library Mural Facades

The exterior of **UNAM Central Library** is wrapped in Juan O'Gorman's immense four-sided mosaic, **Historical Representation of Culture**, making the whole building function as a mural. Each facade addresses a different chapter of Mexican history—pre-Hispanic, colonial, modern and university life—so the work reads as both architecture and national narrative. The style is monumental, symbolic and highly legible at a distance, yet rich in iconographic detail up close; it is one of the clearest bridges between classical Mexican muralism and public urban space.
