"A museum in Coyoacán set in the longtime home of Frida Kahlo." - David Shortell
"Also known as "Casa Azul" for its shocking cobalt blue exterior, this museum is the former home where Frida Khalo was born and raised. She lived (and eventually died) in the home, which she shared with her fellow artist/husband, Diego Rivera. While the collection of their own artwork is small, what's perhaps more impressive is the couple’s collection of folk art, pre-Hispanic artifacts, photographs, memorabilia, personal items, and more. There are only a few Khalo and Rivera paintings in addition to other contemporary artists of their era. But no matter, seeing the house itself and how she lived is why you're here. The home is carefully preserved and maintained; it's easy to imagine the spaces as they were during Kahlo's time. The small cafe is set in the home's beautiful gardens; it's a nice place to sit and reflect on a quiet day at the museum." - Scarlett Lindeman
"The Frida Kahlo Museum, also known as the Blue House (La Casa Azul) is a historic house museum and art museum dedicated to the life and work of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Frida was born in this house and it is also the home where she grew up, lived with her husband Diego Rivera, and eventually died. The museum contains a collection of artwork by Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and other artists along with the couple’s Mexican folk art, pre-Hispanic artifacts, photographs, memorabilia, personal items, and more displayed in the rooms of the house which remains much as it was in the 1950s. Today, it is the most popular museum in Coyoacán and one of the most visited in Mexico City. Whether or not you like Frida or Diego Rivera, this is a must see." - Leolab
