Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera helped define Mexican modernism. On this tour, we’ll gain insight into the lives of two of Mexico’s most iconic and influential artists.
Our visit begins at the Frida Kahlo Museum, also known as Casa Azul, her former home and the place where many of her iconic self-portraits were created. We’ll get a sense of how she lived and worked in this eclectic and deeply personal space. Surrounded by her artwork, clothing, and photographs, we’ll connect intimately with her story.
Next, we’ll shift our focus to Diego Rivera as we take a taxi to our final stop: the Museo Estudio Diego Rivera, the artists’ twin homes and studios. In this modern architectural setting, our expert guide will bring to life the spaces, objects, and artworks, diving into Diego’s fascination with Indigenous Mexican cultures, his artistic legacy, and the enduring love and influence shared between him and Frida.

1Museo Frida Kahlo
During the tour, we will visit the Frida Kahlo Museum, her former abode, where many of her self-portraits were created. The historic building is the artist’s former home, where many of her self-portraits were created. We’ll explore her most intimate spaces, filled with her artwork, photos, clothing, and even corsets she wore as a result of childhood polio and a horrifying bus accident in 1925. Our expert guide will lead you through the artist’s charming courtyards, gardens, and fountains and discuss the major influences on her work: the tragic accident, her personality, her identity as a Mexican woman and, of course, Diego.
