On your next trip, keep your eyes peeled, because the world’s largest holographic mural is in the Mexico City Metro. This monumental work of art was recognized by Guinness World Records this October 2026!
What is it all about? This visual masterpiece is called *Apoteosis* and is a stroke of genius by Mexican artist Federico Kampf. Located at the Auditorio station on Line 7, the artwork has just made history by earning the first Guinness World Record for the Mexico City Metro.
The installation covers 750 square meters and was created by assembling six murals made up of 200 panels and 12,000 strips, all meticulously painted on both sides. As the icing on the cake, it was completed in a record time of 34 days.
The most fascinating aspect is its astonishing optical effect: as you walk in front of the piece, you’ll see how the figures of deities such as Quetzalcóatl, Xochipilli, Apollo, and Dionysus change and move, masterfully blending our Mexican traditions with Western culture.
So now you have the perfect plan for your next trip: hop on the Orange Line, grab your camera, and show off to all your friends that the world’s largest holographic mural is in the Mexico City Metro.
