As an artist, to visit the home of Frida Kahlo was an emotional and other worldly experience. A…read moreMUST for Artists and art aficionados in Coyoacán México. Casa Azul is an extraordinary glimpse into the world of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. The home is meticulously curated, with every room lined with artwork, personal belongings, and intimate details that offer a deeper understanding of the artists' lives, their creative spirits, and the world they inhabited. The exterior is just as enchanting, with vibrant plants and lush gardens that Frida herself tended to, many of which are still growing today. There is something incredibly moving about walking through a space so deeply connected to an artist's life and legacy. The entire property radiates creativity, history, and a distinct energy that resonates deeply with anyone who appreciates art and artistic expression. My only complaint is that tickets are clearly oversold, making the experience quite crowded and taking away from the intimacy of exploring such a personal space. That said, Casa Azul is absolutely worth visiting. It's more than a museum, it's a space to step into Frida's world and experience the beauty, complexity, and spirit behind her work. An unforgettable stop for anyone visiting Mexico City. 9/10

They also preserved some of her clothing items which are on display. The unexpected tribute was a song by Patti Smith on the wall as you exit her room. Divine intervention. It's hard to imagine Frida's tenacity and determination to make her art and live life to the fullest. She is a lesson to us all. What a triumph. A must see if you go to Mexico City.

Imagining Trotsky's life in Mexico built such a mix of feelings…read more Seeing how the home had to be secured, guard towers, higher walls, secure interior doors, to protect him from Stalin surprised me, and yet, he had an office full of books and papers where he received guests and wrote. He actively gardened and raised animals. Learning about the way his family was hunted down and killed (around the world) was terrifying. It gave me an increasingly sobered view of current Russian politics, if only from a historic mindset. In addition to the home and history on Trotsky, there is a one room art gallery that hosts different exhibits. The exhibit when I visited was excellent covering a large range of work by Algerian artist Imene Khelifi.

Small but interesting…read more This house-turned-museum is only three blocks from Frida Kahlo's house-turned-museum and only costs a few American dollars.  There is a one room rotating art gallery here, alongside the entire house that has become a museum.  The interpretative panels along the self guided walking tour are in Spanish and passable English.  The very large interpretive panel explaining Trotsky's influence and the course of the Russian / Soviet Revolution across the 1900s was only available in Spanish, but seemed fairly comprehensive.  It's a worthwhile stop if you are in Coyoacan!
