| Facultad de Medicina |
Taking the short metro ride across town to the University of Mexico campus is well worth the effort. Although the campus grounds are extensive, there are some particularly worthwhile sites to see. As I posted earlier, the 3-D Siqueiros mural is well worth the trip in and of itself. Even more, just across the street from the university is the Estadio Olímpico with the famous Diego Rivera mosaic on the structure's entrance. But, there's more!

| Eppens Mural |
Shortly after getting off the metro at the Coplico station on the northeast side of the campus. Just follow the student crowd to campus and you'll end up at the Facultad de Medicina. You're greeted by a mosaic by Francisco Eppens on the side of the medical school building. This interesting mural presents the themes of life and death which medical students will surely face. The center mask, as you can see above, has both the Spanish profile on the left as well as the indigenous one on the right making a mestizo face in the middle. An ear of maze and other Mayan and Aztec symbols represent the forces of life and death.
