Why choose this Mexico City tour ?
Located in one of the oldest and most beautiful neighborhoods in Mexico City, the Blue House was turned into a museum in 1958, four years after the death of the famous painter Frida Kahlo.
This house-museum is full of history, as it is the same house where Frida was born, lived and died. Although she lived in different places in Mexico City and abroad when she married Diego Rivera, in the end she never left her picturesque house in Coyoacán.
Upon entering this place and without being a great admirer, you will feel like you are traveling back to the years of the painter’s universe, since not only are some of her most famous works such as Viva la Vida or Frida y la cesarean, but there are also newspapers, clothing, accessories, among many other items and objects for personal use.

What makes Frida Kahlo Museum and Diego Rivera Museum a unique experience ?
The exhibition Appearances Can Be Deceiving: The dresses of Frida Kahlo is the first of its kind to be dedicated to the artist’s wardrobe. This show presents an interpretation of Frida Kahlo through the dresses discovered in her bathroom at the Blue House in 2004. This exhibition explores the Mexican painter’s identity as expressed by the visual image she constructed, based on the garments she chose.
Appearances Can Be Deceiving: The dresses of Frida Kahlo proposes that her heritage and disability were two of the basic components that sustained the painter’s taste for traditional Mexican garb.
The rediscovery of Kahlo’s garments has placed her wardrobe at the center of contemporary fashion debate. Frida’s style has inspired international designers such as Riccardo Tisci, or Jean-Paul Gaultier. The latter based on his 1998 spring-summer collection, titled Tribute to Frida Kahlo, on the artist’s wardrobe.rs, building a bridge between past and present.
The distribution of the pieces in the 23 rooms of the Anahuacalli Museum does not respond to an archaeological order, but rather an aesthetic vision. Rivera sought to link representations of ancient cultures with contemporary art, in such a way as to build a continuous line of time. For this reason, the pieces do not have an explanatory certificate, in order to be appreciated by themselves as a current work of art.
