Museo Frida Kahlo Playa Del Carmen

It’s a small but great museum in dedication to Frida Kahlo. It tells her story, her struggles and her a combination of her self portraits, and replica of her room and life. We did a guided tour and we enjoyed quite a bit.

★★★★★ A Stroll Through Pain, Color, and Courage If museums were people, this one would not shout - it would lean in close, lower its voice, and tell you something true. The Museo Frida Kahlo is not a warehouse of relics; it is a walk alongside a woman who refused to look away from life, even when life dealt her a crooked hand and demanded payment in pain. You do not so much visit this place as you accompany it. The museum unfolds like a well-told story - each painting a chapter, written in sentences of pigment, bone, and resolve. Frida does not appear here as a myth or a slogan, but as a human being: stubborn, brilliant, wounded, humorous, and fiercely alive. You come expecting paintings and leave carrying questions - about suffering, identity, love, and the audacity required to tell the truth about oneself. What struck me most was how intimate the experience feels. This is not history at arm’s length. This is history walking beside you, tapping you on the shoulder, and saying, “Pay attention - this mattered.” The curators have done something rare: they let Frida speak without translating her into something safer or smaller. It is a short walk through the museum, but a long walk inside your own thoughts afterward. Much like life, it doesn’t waste words, and it doesn’t pretend comfort is the same thing as meaning. If you have ever believed that art exists merely to decorate walls, this place will gently, but firmly, correct you. And if you believe, as I do, that the best stories remind us we belong to one another in our brokenness and our beauty, then this museum is well worth your time. I left slower than I entered, which is how you know something real has happened. Highly recommended.

An absolutely fantastic experience! A really nice activity to do if you are in Playa Del Carmen. Located just of 5th Avenue, it was a welcoming experience. Our tour guide Daniella was highly knowledgeable on Frida and we learnt so much about her life, inspirations and details on her art, really recommend going for the tour guide option. It’s also well air-conditioned, with toilets and a cute gift shop.

As other visitors have said, really interesting museum. DO take the guided tour. The guide gave more info than was on the display descriptions plus was very knowledgeable answering questions that only somebody who had studied Frieda's life would know. Yes, it doesn't have any of the original art, but it does give you a great overview of one of the great female artists of the 20th century.

My daughter and I enjoyed this experience. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. I learned so much about Frida and her life. We received a bag as part of our ticket admission. A good little stop to learn more about Frida's history. Memorable experience of our stay in Playa del Carmen.

The Frieda Kahlo Museum is very nicely done and our museum guide was very nice and told us everything, and she was able to answer all our questions. It is not only a good attraction in bad weather but also on very warm days as the museum has air-conditioned. We really liked the museum and can highly recommend it. 🌼🎨🖌️♥️

Guide was extremely detailed and very engaging. Loved the tour. The exhibit itself is not super big but we were able to spend 2 hours there. Tour guide comes with admissions. General admission is 18. High school students is 15. Kids are free. There are many different aspects of the exhibit that are more engaging like 360 videos. Overall the whole exhibit is gorgeous and great for pictures. Highly recommend but a bit pricey I must say.

A really engaging small museum dedicated to the marvel that was Frida Kahlo. Take them up in their offer of a guided tour!
