Abstract: In 1958 the Mexican artist, José Chávez Morado, created the mosaic, “La Evolución de la Educación en México”, on the façade of the new building of Benemérita y Centenaria Escuela Normal de Jalisco in Guadalajara, Mexico. The climate and the level of air pollution have already caused a significant amount of damage to the building’s materials (reinforced concrete, cement, glas, ceramic and natural stone). The stone and glass have been particularly affected by corrosion and the related loss of material. The causes of this damage and its effects will be analysed using scientific tests
