About
Fatti rapidi: Step through a cobalt-blue gate and you encounter an intimate, lived-in studio where sunlit patios, embroidered dresses, and paint-splattered easels make the artist’s presence feel immediate. Surprising personal objects, such as her wheelchair, original clothing and a trove of folk and pre-Hispanic art, show how private life, political conviction and creative practice blended together.
Punti salienti: Step into the cobalt-blue courtyard and you can practically smell earth and marigolds, while dozens of her embroidered Tehuana dresses hang like banners and a hand-painted plaster corset plus her prosthetic leg sit exactly where she left them. A small mirror mounted on the canopy above her four-poster bed shows how she painted many of her self-portraits while bedridden, and Diego Rivera's studio objects and pre-Columbian masks crowd the adjacent room, making the whole place feel like a lived-in painting.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the house has uneven floors and several staircases.
- Bring a printed or mobile timed ticket and a valid ID to claim discounts at the box office.
- Take photos in the blue courtyard and by Frida's studio window, but respect no-flash rules and exhibit signs.
- Avoid midday crowds by visiting right at opening or late afternoon on weekdays, and skip repeating every room if short on time.
