Ciudad Universitaria (University City), Mexico is the main campus of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Located in the southern part of Mexico city its construction on a solidified lava bed was finished in 1954. My Aunt Lee is on the right (I'm assuming that Aunt Emmy took this picture since that is not her by Lee's side). My Aunts, at ages 38 and 40, were on their first international trip. At the time of this trip they had worked at least 15 years as executive secretaries at GM divisions in Anderson, Indiana. The mural pictured here is recognized as the largest mural in the world, covering all sides of the Library. The mural is based on Aztec and Spanish motifs and UNAM's coat of arms. The artist was Juan O'Gorman, a painter and architect. The image was digitized from a 35mm Kodachrome slide. View full size.
