Description: "Given the bibliography that already exists about the museum's murals, as well as numerous studies on the Palacio de Bellas Artes as a building, "MNPBA" takes on three sections only: one that refers to its history and to the changes in name, its holdings and the institutional profile, to which it has been subject over time; a second dedicated to its collection, including the murals; and a third focused on the 1230 exhibitions held within its walls between September 1934 and November 2012 [] Finally, one of the main scholarly contributions made by the present volume is the complete picture provided by the inclusion of the most exhaustive list known of all shows mounted at the museum. What its wall have enclosed uncovers or reveals the museum itself"--Page15.
