One of the 20th century’s most celebrated artists, Frida Kahlo was a painter recognized for her colourful self-portraits and other works influenced by the artefacts and nature of Mexico.
The Frida Kahlo Museum, sometimes called The Blue House for its cobalt blue exterior, was Kahlo’s very literal lifelong home – the artist was born, raised, lived as an adult with husband Diego Rivera, and passed away all in the same structure.
Four years after her death in 1954, Rivera donated the home as a museum to honour Kahlo’s life and work. Visitors here enjoy a large collection of art by Kahlo, Rivera, and their contemporaries. The couple’s personal artefacts, photographs, and other memorabilia are also on display.
