In 1939 a strong earthquake shook the city of Chillán, this earthquake left the city practically in ruins and a fatality toll close to 10,000 people.
The Government of Mexico, in an act of solidarity, donated a school, which was naturally called “Escuela México”. It was inaugurated on March 25, 1942, after 2 years of work.
Thanks to the management of Pablo Neruda, David Alfaro Siqueiros and Xavier Guerrero reached Chillán, with the mission of capturing the history of these two sister countries in the murals of the School in question. This is how the school library, located on the second floor of the establishment, houses the Siqueiros mural entitled “Death to the Invader”. While in the entrance hall to the enclosure there are a series of murals of smaller dimensions of Guerrero and that are known as "Mexico to Chile".
Av. O'higgins N ° 250
From Santiago, you must take Route 5 South.
The murals of the Mexico School are characteristic of Mexican Muralism in terms of the use of mixed techniques and styles. Siqueiros applied oil, duco (flags) and pyroxylin to his mural, as well as other materials derived from industry. Xavier Guerrero, on the other hand, used fresco painting, a technique that uses water-based colors on fresh lime and sand plaster.
