Tribute to muralist
ART EXHIBITION|David Alfaro Siqueiros might not be as well known as Diego Rivera, but that does not make him any less important.

It is probably the most important offering in the museum’s 14-year history.|10 a.m.-5 p.m. today and Saturday|Museo de las Américas, 861 Santa Fe Drive; $4 general public and $3 students and seniors; 303-571-4401 or museo.org.
