26 Best Things to Do in Mexico City, From Frida Kahlo's Home to Storied Pastry Shops | Condé Nast Traveler

"Awesome, grand, and out-of-the-way, Anahuacalli is part studio, part museum, and part shrine for Mexican art that Diego Rivera built as an architectural piece uniting past, present, and future to the natural environment. Rivera's personal and expansive collection of pre-Hispanic figurines, carvings, and totems accumulated over a lifetime. The museum itself was constructed around a swath of rocky terrain Rivera and Khalo had purchased for a farm. The main collection features nearly two thousand figurines representing Olmecs, Toltecs, Nahuas, Zapotecs, the people of Teotihuacan, and those of northeastern Mexico as well as Rivera's sketches for murals. There are also temporary exhibits of more modern Mexican artists. In the buildings adjacent to the main hall, the museum promotes contemporary programing like dance workshops, ceramic classes, and kid-friendly courses on local insects." - Scarlett Lindeman
