The Frida Kahlo Museum is set in the former home of the artist, at Londres 247 in the Del Carmen neighbourhood of Coyoacán, in the south of Mexico City. The house is known for its bright blue walls, and it is dedicated to the life and works of Frida Kahlo.
What the visit offers
Because the museum occupies the house itself, a visit feels personal. You move through the rooms where she lived and worked, which gives you a sense of the setting behind her paintings. The museum centres on her life and her art, so it suits anyone curious about the person as well as the work.
- Setting: a former family home, with its distinctive blue exterior
- Focus: the life and works of Frida Kahlo
- Location: Coyoacán, a residential district in southern Mexico City
Around the museum
Coyoacán is a leafy area of the city with a village feel, and it makes a good half day on its own. Many visitors combine the museum with a stroll through the neighbourhood's streets and squares before or after their visit.
Before you go, check the museum's current arrangements, as details such as opening times and tickets can change and are best confirmed directly with the museum.
