Museo de Frida Kahlo Review
Read our Mexico City sights reviews. Or post your own.
Museo de Frida Kahlo
Museums / Galleries, Coyoacán
Fodor's Review:
The "Blue House" where she was born in 1907 (not 1910, as she wanted people to believe) and died 47 years later, is both museum and shrine. Kahlo's astounding vitality and originality are reflected in the house, from the giant papier-mâché skeletons outside and the retablos (small religious paintings on tin) on the staircase to the gloriously decorated kitchen and the bric-a-brac in her bedroom. You can admire her early sketches, diary entries, tiny outfits, wheelchair at the easel, plus her four-poster bed fitted with mirror above.
