The hairless dogs are interesting, especially since they seem to enjoy hanging around a statue of their likeness, fooling you into thinking they are statues as well, until one of them moves. The house is an excellent backdrop for the extensive Diego Rivera paintings. There is a small room showing Frida Kahlo's life story in photos and a few paintings. We were fortunate to be there on a Sunday when a folklorico show was on, all in their colorful costumes and showing off their fancy footwork. Definitely a peasant place to hang out for an hour on our way back to city center.

I visited in October 2017 and was able to see many of Frida and Diego's pieces up close and personal. The museum wasn't crowded so I didn't feel rushed to move from painting to painting. In addition to artwork, there's a large collection of archaeological artifacts that Diego collected throughout his lifetime. I enjoyed the historical aspect that these items brought to the museum experience, and the context they added to Diego and Frida's lives and artwork. The museum grounds are almost as impressive as the art itself - beautiful gardens, courtyards, lots of peacocks and peahens roaming about, hairless dogs, lush lawns, etc. The grounds are peaceful and a great place to relax from the chaos of Mexico City. Tickets are 100 pesos (approx. $5 USD) per person, and there's an additional fee if you want to take photos inside the art exhibits.

Tickets are for timed entry and there are many discounts so purchase ahead. There are 2 buildings (house and museum) as well as a courtyard, cafe and shop. Free, well maintained restrooms (bring a coin to tip). Because of the crowds (10:45a ticket on a Thursday), it's a bit difficult to take in everything that is included in each room. Her Art, (as well as some by others about her), diaries, letters, household and art collection as well as some videos are included and well notated. The second building, labeled as Dresses, contained much more. Definitely recommend. Really stars for content but I think it's oversold.
