translated from Spanish: Citibanamex The National Bank of Mexico will open the doors of Valparaiso

On the corner of Isabel la Católica street and Venustiano Carranza, in the Historic Center of Mexico City, there is an emblematic building for the history of Mexican banking: the Palace of the Counts of San Mateo de Valparaíso. The Baroque-style construction not only witnessed the founding of the National Bank of Mexico, but has hosted major financial decisions for the country.
Designed by Francisco Guerrero y Torres, one of the most important architects of the eighteenth century, it has an arch of 17 meters long without apparent support and a double helical staircase, unique in America. In addition, its civil architecture highlights the value of the Mexican with its facade of chiluca and tezontle quarry, as well as in its details of talavera poblana.
As the Bank’s headquarters, it was home to banking innovation with solutions such as circulation banknote, debit and credit cards, ATMs and technologies for conducting banking transactions from the cell phone.
In commemoration of the Bank’s 135th year of founding and as part of its “Unstoppable Mexicans” campaign, Citibanamex opens the doors to the public of its home such as Valparaíso, a forum for entrepreneurship, innovation and culture. 
This new space will have an entrepreneurship lab for those young people looking to boost the progress of their communities, especially those with high rates of vulnerability. Your visitors will be able to self-diagnose their abilities as entrepreneurs, develop new skills through video games and learn success stories to inspire them to transform their environment.
Another of Valparaíso’s goals is to share with Mexicans some of the Mexico heritage that the Bank has retained throughout its history. For example, a sample of 114 works from his pictorial collection, the most important institutional private of Mexican subjects and authors that exist. 
Paintings by artists such as David Alfaro Siqueiros, Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Remedios Varo, José María Velasco, Leonora Carrington, Julio Ruelas, José Clemente Orozco, María Izquierdo and Eulalia Lucio will be exhibited throughout 14 rooms.
The curatorship of art is by Angélica Velázquez Guadarrama of the Institute of Aesthetic Research of UNAM and the historical curatorship was carried out by Gustavo del Angel of the CIDE and Víctor Flores de Valparaíso.
