The Frida Kahlo Museum, known as La Casa Azul (The Blue House), occupies the cobalt-blue home where the artist was born in 1907 and died in 1954, located in the Colonia del Carmen neighborhood of Coyoacan. Frida and her husband Diego Rivera lived here together for years, and the house was converted into a museum in 1958 at Rivera’s request, preserving her studio, personal belongings, and works as she left them.
Visitors walk through rooms filled with Kahlo’s paintings, folk art collection, and personal effects, including her wheelchair, back braces, and traditional Tehuana dresses, alongside a lush courtyard garden with pre-Hispanic sculptures. The museum is one of Mexico City’s most visited cultural sites and offers an intimate look at the life behind Kahlo’s iconic self-portraits.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM and closed Mondays. Tickets are sold online only and often sell out one to two weeks in advance, so booking ahead is strongly recommended.
