Museo Frida Kahlo, Casa Azul
Coyoacán, Mexico
Casa Azul is most revealing as a home rather than a comprehensive painting collection. Rooms, personal possessions and the garden place Frida Kahlo’s work within the circumstances of her daily life, with Diego Rivera also part of the story. The intensely blue exterior has become an emblem of Coyoacán, but the quieter domestic details give the visit its emotional force. Reserve ahead and leave space afterwards to walk the neighbourhood, rather than treating the museum as a hurried photograph stop.
