National Museum of Popular Culture

Nice gallery space with small alternating exhibits over little 4 buildings. Check on their website before going because on the weekends they often have markets or events and have free entry on Sundays.

The museum is small, but we genuinely enjoyed the exhibit showcasing the winners of the cultural institute competition. It was thoughtful, creative, and worth seeing. Unfortunately, the experience at the box office left a very negative impression that stayed with us the rest of the visit. At the entrance, there was a sign that said there was free entry. I knew the website listed an entry fee of about 21 pesos, so I decided to confirm while getting our tickets. I walked up to the box office, asked for four tickets, and immediately followed up by asking how much the entry was. The employee pointed to a sign behind her and said, "It is there in your language." The sign was in both English and Spanish. I was speaking Spanish the entire time. There was no reason for that comment. I had not been rude or incorrect in anything I said. My mother stepped in and clarified that we are Mexican nationals. The woman simply handed me the tickets and said nothing else. Her tone and attitude were completely unnecessary. Instead of a welcoming or neutral interaction, it felt dismissive and out of place, especially in a cultural institution meant to celebrate diversity, heritage, and community. That single moment overshadowed what could have been a pleasant museum visit.

What a treat to see all the amazing popular culture in such an amazing building. The collection is beautiful, full of soul, and the pride in Mexican culture is palpable. Visit it!!

Right now they have a seemingly temporary exhibition with traditional masks from the North. I saw the same in Museum of Masks in Acapulco. For the reason unknown all of the jaguars are tagged as tigers.

Nice local museum with two temporary exhibitions. Located in the very pleasant neighborhood of Coyoacán. The entry ticket is very cheap (19.50 mexican pesos for 1 adult) and there is no waiting time. Not a very big museum, so don't expect a long visit there.

Small museum with great art works, the entrance is very cheap. Worth going if you have an hour of time and are in the neighborhood.

Get to know a little about popular culture in Mexico at the Museo Nacional de Culturas Populares (National Museum of Popular Culture). It's an historic building showing temporary exhibitions about popular culture. Currently there's an exhibition about the alternative arts venue Multiforo Cultural Alicia, an exhibition of work by Felipe Ehrenberg and his inspiration from Mexican culture and a photo series on cultural diversity. There is an entry fee but it is nominal. For non-Spanish speakers be away didactics and information is not also displayed in English so have the Google Translate app ready. Also, you will have to cloak larger bags.

Wow! This is a SMALL and FREE museum. Literally in one door and out the other, of a small house. But inside there are so many cultural masks! They are used for dances and ceremonies. At the end there is a station to make your own little doll with a mask! When I was there, the materials were all used so I couldn't make anything :(.

An incredibly well curated and personable museum. It's pretty special to be able to walk around Fridas house and see and experience her home life, surrounded by so many of her belongings. The experience does feel more curated towards her childhood and upbringing, and less so about her later life. I really enjoyed the dress exhibit.

I'm so glad I got to visit this museum before I left CDMX. It is about 20ish minutes out of the city center, but you need to account for traffic since it can get pretty crazy in the afternoon, so head out early! The curation this museum offered gave an insightful and intimate look into Frida Kahlo's life beyond what is general knowledge. The storytelling of her life was supplemented by her works of art and materials that she once owned and used, like oil paints, brushes, home decor, furniture, etc. Tips: - Tickets sell out quickly be sure to buy them online as early as you can - Don't forget about the room in the back (near the cafe) which displays Frida's clothes and her famous traditional Oaxacan dresses

It was amazing to explore Friday Kahlo's home and see the artwork she created during her lifetime! I learned so much and left truly inspired. Notes: -Tickets sell out days in advance so be sure to buy them early. -The rooms in the home can get crowded. Be prepared to spend time waiting to see the art and read each plaque.

Nothing to write home about. The museum features little/no of Frida's actual artwork and actually is more so a large green space atrium of places to roam around and one room of her previously used (impressive) clothing and jewelry. For how far-out of the way it is located and how small it is, there was nothing moving about the museum. There is a small silent movie that was not interesting and too much of a focus on her days being ill. I would skip it.

If you're interested in Frida, go. If not, skip it. If you go, make sure you get your tickets in advance and show up on time. It has high traffic. And even if you're interested in Frida and/or her work, you may be disappointed. All of the displays are behind glass, which makes the desired trip into her world a bit distant, and the focus is more on her and her life than her work. I was disappointed. Though she has approximately the same number of artworks as Diego Rivera, the way her life is curated at this museum devalues her and her work. It all falls flat. This is a high-priced museum for Mexico, and there are so, so many free and low cost ones that this one, especially for all of the attention it garners, is disappointing. It's possible that it would have been better with a tour guide, but I'm not sure. I much more enjoyed roaming the streets of this neighborhood and trying to imagine what it would have been like back then. What would have been the same, different, how heavy the traffic would have been, etc.

Could not leave CDMX without visiting. As excited as I was to be there, it made me feel incredibly sad walking through the house. A beautiful soul that lived and loved but unfortunately left this world so young. She was just getting started. Anyway, I appreciate my experience here and will not forget.

Quite possibly my favorite museum in the world. Please do yourself a favor and buy tickets in advance note you buy tickets for a time slot and must show up at the correct time to avoid any inconvenience. But beyond that Coyoacan is incredible. You can feel the energy and expression coming off the streets. The museum in particular is well thought out and offers a lot of great photo opportunities. It also was really neat gaining insight into where Frida and Diego spent time together. The museum is capacity controlled which creates a more ideal viewing experience. Definitely worth the admission and the detour, and whatever planning ahead this spot requires. I would plan to allocate half a day to get the full experience.

This is a very nice museum. You must buy tickets in advanced online. The line opens every 15 minutes. The grounds are very well-maintained and this is a nice museum. Some of the rooms are cramped and crowded, so you don't get to see everything that you want to. The museum paints a nice story of Frida's life and helped me better understand the artist.

Definitely a must when in town, but definitely a one and done type of situation for me. First off, you need a reservation. You cannot visit without one. I saw far too many people outside get turned away. A lesson learned for them. A hard one at that. There was already quite a long queue for the reserved time I had booked despite me showing up 15 mins early. I'm not sure how the crowd is earlier in the day, but midday was bonkers. Huge tour buses were dropping off and picking up people. Add to that equation all the vendors trying to get everyones attention and you had yourself a free show. While I loved being able to walk around the property where Frida lived with her family and eventually Diego, it was difficult to take it all in because of how many people they let in at a time. Every room or corner I tried to examine was full of people completely unaware of their surroundings. It honestly felt suffocating. I also did not appreciate being singled out for wearing transitional glasses which obviously got darker when I was outside. I thought it was odd to be personally approached as though wearing one wasn't allowed. Bro, they're so I can see better. Great collection in a well kept property. Would I come back? Probably not

We booked this as part of a tour for obvious reasons. Super busy otherwise. Don't even try to go, they'll laugh in your face. The inside is cool, it's nice and short so it's NOT like an ALL day kind of thing. Very in and out. You see a lot of her original sketches, her bed she was in after her horrible accident, and some Diego Rivera related things as well. I wont spoil all of it but her family photos are my favorite. The gift shop is pretty solid. My only complaint would be that the employees looked miserable. Like very sad. Not even a little energetic lol. However the area around the museum Coyoacán is PHENOMENAL for food. So check out the surrounding area for sure!

First things first - you would definitely be missing out if you visited Mexico City and did not take the time to visit the Freda Kahlo Museum. Because of how absolutely popular the museum is (Freda is monumental to Mexican culture and artistry) it's imperative to book your tickets to the museum as soon as possible. It's timed ticket entry, so also be sure to make it on time - if not earlier than the time in your ticket. Aside from that, it is a very smooth check-in process. If you would like to take pictures inside of the house (where all of the art & artefacts are) you will need to buy an additional ticket at the museum. It took me around an hour to get through the different rooms in the house. Bear in mind that it is a small house and there will be a lot of people walking through the gallery. But most people are mindful that you may want to take pictures and will give you space. I learned so much more about the life of Freda and Diego by going to the museum. Although it is not a guided tour, there are staff around the museum who are knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions that you may have. After taking the tour of the museum there are beautiful grounds with fountains, a gift shop and a coffee shop to peruse.

Gorgeous and amazing despite crowds Frida Kahlo is the most influential Latina visual artist ever, and one of the most influential artists amongst humans ever, really. Her museum is in the heart of Coyoacan, amidst other beautiful, well preserved, and pricey houses and shops. The Kahlo museum is reasonably priced but you do have to buy a ticket in advance and for a specific time, and then show up on time. It is very crowded inside and out, and they expect you to go through quickly - but we never felt hurried along. Her house, art, and life are all on display and it's honestly an incredible experience that makes you really feel her pain, inspiration, and beauty. You can see her childhood drawings, infamous painted casts, amazing wardrobe, and every room she inhabited. There are thorough and informative interpretive panels in every room in both Spanish and English. After Teotihuacan, this was our favorite part of visiting Ciudad Mexico; seeing this amazing life and amazing art will be a treasured memory for a long time. Frida's house-turned-museum is only three blocks from Leon Trotsky's house, which is a worthwhile and fairly cheap museum stop, too.

I must say that this museum was quite a disappointment. You have to book well ahead, have a narrow time window 15 minutes or thereabouts, and then stand in line to finally get in. Once inside there is really very little to see. Fifteen minutes is plenty of time for the whole thing, and I must also say that the gift store was disappointing too. Can't say that we would recommend :(

This isn't the type of museum where there is something for everyone. If you're unfamiliar or not a fan of Frida Kahlo then you'll come to the same conclusion as many of the other lower rating reviewers. First of all you definitely should get your tickets online ahead of time. There were many people who showed up and were turned away. It's unlikely that you'll be able to get tickets from the official site, but is possible via to get them via the secondary markets for sometime during the duration of your trip or even if early enough the same day. It is timed entry, but once you're inside no one is tracking or rushing you through exhibits and out the door. It isn't a large property and objectively you can certainly be through the place in 20 minutes. However as a fan you'll likely spend a decent amount of time just reading about every little detail. Being able to see the home in which she lived and created many of her works creates an incredible connection and enlightening view into many of the pieces you're likely already familiar with. Definitely avoid this museum if your interest level in Frida is just "meh".

Nice museum, it's located in the Colonia del Carmen neighborhood of Coyoacán in Mexico City. Part of the charm of the museum is that it is located in Frida's house and the house itself is like an exhibit; showing how she lived and worked in the space, as well as displaying her art throughout. You need to purchase your tickets weeks in advance, this place gets crowded and tickets are typically sold out. The one thing I hated was that they charge you more to take pictures inside the museum. So we waited in line to get inside, only to wait in another line to buy the "photography pass." Just include it in the price of the entrance and be done with it!

This is a fantastic museum that is NOT to be missed! The connection with Frida Kahlo in her own home is amazing! After reading several reviews I was nervous about the crowds, the line, and wait to get in. But don't let those reviews get to you. They have everything well organized. We arrive about 45 minutes before our time and inquired about getting in early, but were told that wouldn't be possible. We opted to take a stroll around the neighborhood. Definitely do this if you have a chance! It's a gorgeous part of Mexico City with a ton of character and history. We even stopped in at a small panaderia for an afternoon coffee and treat. We made our way back to the museum about 5 minutes before our time and found our line. Less than 10 minutes later and we were in! Yes, you do need to pay 30 pesos for photos, but it's worth the extra bucks. You'll get a stick to wear so they know you are good to photograph. Some rooms do get crowded, but with a little patience everyone will be able to see what they want. Our favorite area was the garden. It was so peaceful and shaded on a warm day! I'll let my photos do the talking for the exhibit. Don't miss this museum!

Our group had a wonderful time at this museum, which was Frida Kahlo's home. It was fascinating to learn more about her story by moving through her home, seeing her studio, and the bedroom she spent so much time in (complete with the mirror over her bed used to create many of her self-portraits while bed-bound). They had some of her artwork displayed as well as others' work which she inspired. There were areas with her dresses on display, a short film that gave a brief biography of her life and so much more. This museum had such a bright lovely energy to it, i could have spent much longer here.

Casa Azul is a beautifully and thoughtfully curated museum that should be on your list if you are visiting Mexico City. If you are a fan of Frida Khalo, her contributions and work, you'll appreciate this space. Casa Azul is Frida's childhood home, where she was raised and lived later as an adult with her husband, Diego Rivera. So not only are you taking in her art work, but her incredible home as well. Even with tickets (which I believe are required to be purchased beforehand), you'll have a bit of a wait online. Once you're let in, there is a curated flow to the museum that you must follow, so there isn't really the opportunity to aimlessly wander until you reach the outdoor courtyard. You'll walk through their painter's workshop, their colorful kitchen, their bedrooms, everything. Once you're outside, and away from the crowds, you can take it the beautiful lush garden. We stayed longer than intended because it was just so nice! So happy we made the trip to this museum. It was a really incredible part of the trip.

Make sure to book in advance, as it fills up quickly. It's very pretty and colorful, and you can listen to the guide on Spotify.

This place is an outstanding experience. If you're in CDMX, bring this to the top of your list of destinations. I recommend getting your tickets at least a week in advance as they sell out quickly. It's nice because there are never too many people in the museum at any one time which makes it feel like you get to see everything you want to. My favorite part was the outside garden with the pyramid. We also ran into a tour guide in training there who gave us lots of additional information which was outstanding. Frida's life and art are so fascinating to me.

This museum is nothing short of amazing. If you're a fan of Frida Kahlo and her husband, Diego Rivera, you must make the effort to go. Don't expect Wall to Wall art by Frida, although there is plenty of her art; rather this gives you a very intimate look into who she was as a woman, activist, and painter. Her exuberance for life, despite the many challenges she faces, shines through in her home. You will have the opportunity to gaze upon her peaceful countenance in her death mask, which was very compelling. Also, if you know what you're looking for, you'll see her funerary urn. Most people look past it. There is also a separate exhibit her clothes and accessories. Definitely make the effort to go here. You have to buy tickets about a month in advance, just so you know.

It was such a neat experience to be able to walk through Frida's house. We decided for the non guided tour and we paid the extra fee for pictures. It took us a little more then an hour to complete the walk through of her house. At times you have to walk in a single file line and wait on people to be able to proceed. Once outside we were able to roam freely. Her master bedroom was my favorite and I loved the quote on her wall. We stopped by the gift shop and it was on the smaller side. Bought a few souvenirs for a decent price. Overall we had a lot of fun. I loved seeing her vision, her art, her home, her amazing story, and her clothing. He home was / is a special place.

Absolutely iconic. Amazing to see where such an influential artist was born, thrived and died. Gorgeous home and courtyard to enjoy while visiting. The website is a mess for tickets. Get yours on Trip Advisor and then message the operator on Whatsapp to download your tickets. Coyoacan is a lovely neighborhood with a fantastic market for lunch. Make an afternoon of it.

A trip into Frida s world. Her childhood home, her beds, her dresses, stories and passion. Each corner, a different storie. I was mesmerized with her family' s pictures and a glimpse into her reality. Frida was the representation of freedom, even trapped in a sick body.

Such a great insight into Frida's life and all her trials and tribulations. So fascinating. You can do a guided tour or just walk yourself through the museum. Buy tickets in advance as it can sell out . Loved all the colors, outfits and the gardens. My favorite parts. Frida had an interesting life and not a easy one. You are not allowed to take pics inside the museum but you can outside. Definitely a part of Mexican history, and a must do in Mexico City.

i'm not a super big museum person or art history buff but this was still such a wonderful experience. i remember briefly learning about frida in art class in elementary school, but here you really get to learn so much more about her personal life outside of her art & i found that super fascinating. she truly seemed like a remarkable woman and i have so much respect for her! make sure you book your tickets in advance!!! to take any photos you'll also need to purchase an additional pass but it's like $1-$2 USD

I really enjoyed visiting the Frida Kahlo Museum, which is located at Casa Azul, her home. The bright blue exterior and the inside garden was so gorgeous! As for the museum itself, it only takes around an hour to see everything. I'd say the museum is more about her life as a whole rather than just a showcase of her work (although you'll definitely see her art along the way). Super fascinating and I learned so much. You definitely need to buy tickets in advance and I'd also arrive a few minutes before your scheduled entry time to get in line. You can also purchase an additional ticket when you get there if you want to take photos inside the house itself (it's about $2 USD) but photos in the garden are free. There's English signage inside the house explaining everything which I really appreciated!

I was a big fan of the FK museum. It's kind of out of the way to get to if you're in the main part of Mexico City - eg I stayed in Roma Norte and the museum is in Coyoacan, about 30-45 mins southeast depending on traffic (and the traffic does get BAD). Nevertheless, I got the rec to go from a friend and I really enjoyed it! Definitely buy your ticket well in advance because I don't think you can buy one in person (the website says you cant) and if you tried they'd DEFINITELY be sold out (I bought my ticket about 1.5 weeks in advance, and went on 6/14 - there was a sign there that said "sold out until 6/16). The museum itself isn't big, I explored the whole thing in just under an hour. But there's a lot of beautiful architecture, cool displays, and the signs with quotes from FK and her husband Diego Rivera are very beautiful. If you have the time, the FK museum ticket also gets you into the Diego Rivera museum further East (but I didn't have time to go). They have different prices for seniors, students, professors, etc. I am university faculty in the USA and they did ask for proof on my arrival (a badge etc) for my professor ticket. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit here! I would recommend it!

Wow, this museum is amazing. A complete dive into Frida and Diego's home and gardens, including a peak at some of her clothing. Our 6-year-old is a huge Frida fan so this was a must visit for us, and we were not disappointed. We pre-bought 10am entry tickets in advance so avoided most of the long lines (which were around the corner y the time we left). Stop for coffee and donuts before hand at El Jarocho and you won't mind waiting in line nearly so much.

Visiting Museo de Frida has been on my bucket list for years. So happy I was able to make it. Reserved tickets online on the official museo site and the tickets were emailed to me. I rec purchasing tickets in advance as it is a popular tourist attraction. It was pouring rain as it usually does in Mexico City. Take an umbrella or raincoat so you don't get soaked!

We were (like many tourists, I assume) in Coyoacan for a day over our week visit to Mexico City in order to visit this museum. But I didn't love it as much as I'd hoped. I'm glad I visited (checked it off my list), but it didn't isn't a museum I'd rush back to visit again. The museum is inside Frida Kahlo's childhood home, where she was born, lived with Diego Rivera for several years, and died. The house is known as "la Casa Azul," and Diego Rivera donated the house and its contents to be turned into a museum after Frida Kahlo's death. The museum is one of the most - if not the most? - visited attraction in Mexico City. I had read that I should get tickets ahead of time and to try to visit in off hours. But even having tickets and visiting a on a weekday (a Friday though) didn't make the visit easy or comfortable. We got our tickets a few weeks in advance (I'm not sure you can get in without tickets) and showed up about 15 minutes before. When we arrived, there was a line of people waiting to get in who had 11:45 am tickets, and once they were sent in, we joined the line for the 12:00 pm entries. It was organized chaos - organized, but so many people! Once inside the museum, I realized that I wouldn't be very comfortable. I'm not crazy about spaces crowded with people. And - as the museum was Frida Kahlo's actual home - it's full of small rooms. But each room had so many people in it! Sometimes I stood in the center of a room, trying to figure out where to go - should I walk and wait to see whatever is on that wall or wait over there to see whatever is on that other wall?! I got a little overwhelmed and once just tried to skip a room (I couldn't get close enough to anything to see it) but was stopped from leaving because they said there were too many people in the next room. I didn't get much out of the visit to the house because of how crowded it was. Luckily, there was a small area off the courtyard that had an exhibit on Frida's clothing that not nearly as crowded. Ultimately, it was just too crowded to enjoy. I couldn't get close enough to see much and was overwhelmed by the crowded spaces. I highly recommend visiting on weekday (not a Friday) if you're going to visit and relate to anything I've described. If you're not bothered by crowded spaces and are skilled at pushing your way through others (I'm five feet tall and not skilled in that way), don't worry about the day - but still make sure to get your ticket.

This museum is one of the kind to remember women power and leader in Mexico. Frida Kahlo is know for her many self portraits. Her unique uni eyebrows is the most recognizable in Mexico. We saw many of the baby dolls are just reflecting her uni eyebrow. Frida know for many political movements. Her voice on feminists is well herd in Mexico. She died very young age at 47. Due to her spinal problems, she experienced pain in many place. Her right leg was amputated. She is a strong women experience many pain which reflects in the last room of the museum. Her museum is the blue house La Casa Azul is her last house. Very easy to spot far away. You can see her bed just next to stair way with mirrors on the ceiling of the bed. That make her the best self portrait painter. The museum requires additional fees if you want to take pictures inside the museum. Please go early to line up for the time you are allotted. They are very straight on time for the schedule of the ticket.

A MUST VISIT IN CDMX!! TIPS: - Purchase tickets ahead of time, and select the first time slot of the day (you beat the crowds). Also, you must line up for your time slot, so arrive 10-15mins early). - As a traveler from the US, we went on a weekday. Not sure if it is busy on the weekend. - Purchase the option to take photos (MX$30) - Although you line up going in, you can move through at your own pace - Tickets purchased also gets you free entry into the Diego Rivera Anahuacalli Museum, on the same day (no time slot required). However, the Diego Rivera Anahuacalli Museum was not my cup of tea! ONSITE: - There are bathrooms onsite, which were clean (two stalls for the women). There was another bathroom toward the exit, but it was under construction) - Stop by the gift shop! - Toward the exit, there is a seating area where you can purchase some refreshments.

If you're an art history buff or love art museums or at least watched "Frida", you know you have to come here. Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera are probably the most famous power couple in the art world...and in Mexico. Although you won't see many of Frida's artwork here because they're in museums and collectors' homes all over the world, you'll still see a few of her paintings. Located in Coyoacan, a quiet part of Mexico City is this big blue house hence the name La Casa Azul. It's a popular museum and tickets sell out. You can buy your ticket on their website but if you're from the US, your credit card won't work even if you call your bank or try to use multiple different debit/ credit cards (they won't even see the transaction) and it's quite frustrating. I sent them an email and they saved a ticket for me which was super nice and helpful because I was close to just giving up. Another option is if you have several days in CDMX, buy your ticket from a kiosk at Centenario 107 which is a restaurant a few minutes from this museum. There are different prices for tourists, locals, weekday vs weekend, students/ teachers, and seniors. Taking videos inside the house isn't allowed but you can take pictures and videos in the courtyard. If you want to take pictures inside the house, you have to pay 30 pesos for a permit and stick it onto your phone or on yourself where it can be easily seen. The museum opens at 10am but I was first in line at 9am and people started showing up at 9:30. Which meant I had pictures of the house without other people and avoided a big crowd and I enjoyed the museum much more than if I went around 11am-2pm which are peak times. This is the house Frida grew up in and died. You'll see her room and her work area. Her life has been tragic and her artwork depicts her struggles. There's a gift shop where I easily spent over $100 on magnets, shirts, bags and keychains to bring home to friends. It's not a big place and you can tour the entire museum in an hour or less.

This is an absolute MUST VISIT on your Mexico City itinerary. Coated with a vibrant, deep blue, this house was Frida Kahlo childhood home that she then lived most of her life as well, with her twice husband Diego Rivera. Her art is displayed throughout the estate as well as some of her dresses. You get to learn a lot about such an inspiring, contemporary feminist. Make your online reservations days in advance. Also, it's an extra ~$3 if you want to take pictures.

I absolutely loved going to Casa Azul. As a big Frida Kahlo fan, this was one of those core memory moments. Seeing where she meandered and created her art was incredible. The home itself is beautiful and vast and spacious. There are a lot of neat items/relics from when they lived there. I enjoyed seeing her beautiful dresses at the end of the museum.

If you Love Frida Kahlo this museum is a must! I definitely recommend you buy your tickets online way in advance. We purchased our tickets for a Tuesday and groups walking up we're told no tickets were available until Sunday. If you are able schedule the private tour! $600 pesos at the time of this posting ( roughly $32) Our guide was incredible. We had a very large group of 15 and she made sure we all received the information about the house and the interesting tid bits. Our guide was Alejandra and if you can request her! Amazing! I've attached a picture with her in it! Although it was a guided tour we had plenty of time on the grounds to really take it in and see the beauty of the house. There is a $30 pesos fee to be able to take pictures, but for a $1.62 it's so worth it!

Before you go to Museo Frida Kahlo, set your expectations. It's a widely popular museum with lines of tourists. If off-the-beaten-path is what you want, skip it. If not, it's something interesting to do. Here's my experience: 1) Admission: Tickets are recommended in advance. They can be booked online, but I had trouble getting one using an American credit or debit card. I emailed them and they held a ticket for me for a Thursday right after they opened at 10 a.m. It's 250 pesos per ticket and an extra 30 to be allowed to take photos without flash throughout the museum. (No video.) My five-year-old daughter was free. 2) Visit: The entire complex is a bright blue with gardens throughout the courtyard. The museum starts with going through a small museum of Frida's life and art as well as an exhibit showcasing her husband's work. (She married famous artist Diego Rivera.) Our entire stay lasted 45 minutes. It's an oasis and a peaceful visit despite the crowds of tourists. Afterwards, walk through the neighborhood.

We visited this museum connected with our bike tour - so glad it was all connected. We did a bike tour of this neighborhood and then ended at the museum which was a perfect way to understand Frida's whole story. Absolutely loved learning her full story and all struggles she went through and how she rose to her icon status. You definitely don't want to miss this spot to get the full download on Frida. What an incredible afternoon.

let me try to state some highlights so you can skip through the extensive reviews: 1. you gotta get your ticket online. and show up at your time slot. it gets PACKED. they let you in by time zones, on your line. and even then we got in a bit past our 12 pm entry. they check tickets multiple times. 2. they have a bag/coat check inside. 3. they charge extra on site for you to take pics and videos. 4. theres so much to read. its overwelming, but very imformative and organized well. that being said, i feel like its easy to be rushed here because theres so many people here walking in a line trying to get in and, its easy for you to want to keep the line moving and move onto the next room. 5. towards the end, it leads you to the garden which is the best part. all outdoors with some areas to sit and stand under outdoor roofs. 6. final part is a small extension on the side of the house in which you can see her dresses. theres 2 sections for bathrooms. a small store and food area. 7. artists and other people sell stuff outside that are much cheaper and unique than the things inside.

We hit major traffic getting here . Not sure if it was worth the trip . We ran through the place in about 15 minutes. My hubby wasn't happy It's a cool house . But ..... I think you can skip this . Too many people. Not enough to see . For us at least .

This museum is a must see when you are in Mexico City! The museum is a house where Frida Kahlo was growing up, where she spent her childhood. The house is huge with a large garden. Her countless paintings are displayed in every room, on every wall ... with the authentic furnishings throughout the house. Frida Kahlo's history is extremely sad, but very interesting! (Highly recommend it to Google it!) We arrived to the museum at a scheduled time. Once your inside, you must follow a guided path ... then, once you reach the outside, you can spend as much time as you wish ... you can go back to the house and walk through again, too. It's very important to pay the extra money for a permit to be able to take pictures! Before you exit, there is a small gift shop. You can find pretty much anything related to Frida Kahlo (every gift items) you can think of!

Accessibility: there are stairs inside her home to see her bedroom and her art studio, no ramp for those areas, but her backyard/courtyard is on the first level. I was using a cane to walk slowly and all the employees were making sure i was okay and at the front of lines, so if you are a wheelchair user and really want to come here, I recommend calling and asking if there is any way they can help you experience her home. The restrooms here are in her courtyard, on the bottom level, flat ground. Tickets to enter: you have to buy tickets online, far ahead of time to enter. Many of the tickets get sold in large amounts to tour groups, so you may have to come here through a tour group (which is what I did). Do not come here on the day of expecting to buy tickets in person because they will be sold out, and they only sell them online, not in person. Experience: coming to Frida Kahlo's house was a once in a lifetime experience! It was very cool. I loved the bright blue color of her home, and the inside was absolutely beautiful. Inside her home they had all of her real paintings and belongings perfectly preserved because she was famous before she died, so they already had plans to save things in the way they were in her home. They have her real furniture, dresses, everything. You have to come see this place if you are interested in Frida's life or art at all. Masks: masks are mandatory inside her home at all times, and they will not let you come in without one. This is current as of June 28, 2022. Vaccine not required.

Even if you've never heard of Frida Kahlo, this is a lovely place to visit. However, I recommend buying tickets ahead of time! And be prepared to wait in line, even if you have tickets. This is a very unique museum, since it was also the artist's home. Seeing her art is so cool, especially the unfinished pieces. The museum does a great job of displaying the timeline of Frida's life, and preserving the home as she used it. The gardens are lovely on a nice sunny day. I highly recommend this museum!

This exhibit is so beautiful and the grounds of her home are absolutely breathtaking. You can easily spend hrs here just admiring her artwork reading up on her incredible life and enjoying the beauty of her home! It's a must see if you visit Mexico City. Just know due to the popularity of this museum you must book a ticket and arrival time in advance. It's almost impossible to just walk in.

Very inconsiderate and inflexible with their ticketing service. I accidentally purchased the wrong day and asked for an adjustment and was denied. This museum costed the most too and they won't even refund the money. You can't even take photos inside. If you're on the fence about this, don't even go!

My second time at Frida Kahlo museum was just as good as the first time! Very organized, not overly crowded and beautiful piece of art history

Museo Frida Kahlo is Frida's blue house that she lived in. Located in the Coyoacan neighborhood, Museo Frida Kahlo is a must-see for anyone visiting Mexico City. We were glad to learn more about Mexico's famed artist through this house that she spent much of her time in. Unlike other museums in Mexico City, purchasing tickets ahead of time is highly recommended for Museo Frida Kahlo, if not required. I remember looking online for tickets in mid-November for a date when we'd be in CDMX, and all of November was already booked up. Fortunately, we found a date during our time in Mexico, but do plan ahead! Tickets can be purchased online and will be e-mailed to you. We lined up at the blue house at our allotted time slot and there was already a line on a Thursday morning. Once you enter the blue house, the self-guided tour is pretty simple, as you travel to one room to the next in order. Because of how popular this museum is, sometimes entering a room would get backed up with so many people trying to see the different artwork or items that were once owned by Frida. But after the tour of the house, you can freely roam the gardens and there was another building that was dedicated to Frida's influence on fashion and style, where her dresses were displayed. I knew the basics of Frida, but learned much more after visiting this museum and reading the information. It was especially cool to see Frida's house, with the studio being my favorite room. You also learn a lot about her partner, fellow artist Diego Rivera. Note that the gift shop here was super expensive. Also, admission to Frida's house also gets you admission to Diego's nearby museum, with a free bus service. We enjoyed learning about Frida here.

This is an absolutely amazing piece of art history. It's a small compound but so interesting and full of artifacts, facts, and details about Frida Kahlo and her life and art. Also, you'll find interesting shops, cafes, and street murals in that neighborhood. I highly recommend a visit here!
