The Mexican Institute of Social Security was created during an important era for Mexican nationalism. During this time, a concerted effort was made to integrate art and architecture. Every building erected by this unique institution houses fragments of history: art¬works in different media with which creators such as Siqueiros, Rivera and Chávez Morado have sought to heal the soul.
