At the [[Detroit]] Institute of Arts, the museum's central courtyard is decorated with a series of 27 murals by the Mexican painter Diego Rivera that depict the automobile industry.  Industrialist [[Nelson Rockefeller]] commissioned a mural by Rivera, though later ordered it painted over, due to some pro-[[socialist]] imagery in the work.  A duplicate mural is now in [[Mexico City]] Museum of Fine Arts.<ref>[http://gomexico.about.com/od/sights/ss/df_walking_9.htm Mexico City Museum of Fine Arts]</ref>
