Explanation:

The Frida Kahlo Museum is located on 247 London Street, in one of the oldest and most beautiful neighborhoods in Mexico City, downtown Coyoacán.

Also known as the Casa Azul, it is one of the most representative tourist and cultural sites in the area; the property belonged to the Kahlo family since 1904 and four years after the painter's death, in 1958, it was converted into a museum.

The House Museum allows its visitors to discover the deep relationship that exists between Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, their paintings and their home. The rooms show part of the work of Frida and Diego Rivera, who also lived there.

Among the highlights of the house are the beds (day bed and night bed) that Frida used to paint while she was immobilized due to the terrible accident she had. Many of his paintings were inspired by this and the suffering he experienced after several reconstructive surgeries.

Another attraction of the museum is the study of Frida, where you can also appreciate its library. The kitchen of the house has been preserved in the same condition as when the painter used it. This is a very important element within the enclosure, since all the objects within it, such as vessels and plates, clearly reflect the impact that Mexican culture had on the artist's gastronomic lifestyle. Although at the time Frida and Diego lived, gas was already used in kitchens, Frida liked to prepare meals in a more traditional way, with wood-based cooking. Likewise, the Mexican-style garden designed by Diego Rivera houses a pyramid in which his collection of pre-Hispanic pieces are exhibited.
