Alice, Greg and Allison Wolfe visit the famous Casa Azul, Frida Kahlo's home and now the Museo Frida Kahlo in the Coyoacán neighborhood of Mexico City.
La Casa Azul is the intimate universe of Frida Kahlo. In this beautiful residence, the artist lived most of her life; initially with her family and years later, with Diego Rivera. Likewise, interesting Mexican and foreign visitors stayed in this place, attracted by the captivating couple of artists.
Frida wanted to leave her home as a museum, to be enjoyed by her beloved Mexico. For this reason, after her death, Diego organized the Frida Kahlo Museum. The Museum’s administration was entrusted to the Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo Museum Trust at the Bank of Mexico, established by Rivera himself in 1957.
Since the Museum’s inauguration in July 1958, the Blue House exhibits the ambience that inspired Frida, as well as her personal belongings. Along with paintings by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, also displayed are folk art pieces, pre-Columbian sculptures, photographs, documents, books and furniture. A relatively new addition is the the exhibition of Frida’s dresses and personal effects.
