You will also see many medals of honor that were bestowed on various military and letters / pictures from the Imperial period There were also a few carved animals in jade, agate & other stones - some had diamonds eyes.....but there was another whole separate exhibit entitled the "Zoo" that required separate admission - of course, of which we paid entry The Faberge "Zoo" room was 1 room w/ a few cases of animals that have been created by the house of Faberge over the years & they ranged from miniature to huge. Lots of elephants & bunnies but we also saw rarities like a Duck-Billed Platypus. If you were looking for your favorite animal, chances are Faberge created it at some point The gift shop contained extremely pricey souvenirs of Faberge replicas - but I did not look closely enough to see if they were modern Faberge pieces or made elsewhere to honor the memory of Faberge Had the price been cheaper, I'd have been thrilled by this small exhibit but for what we paid compared to what we got to see, have to say this was just an OK experience & had it not been raining, we might have passed all together

This is the 9th Frida Kahlo exhibition organized and curated by the Kunstmuseum during the last 12 years. The museum will show photos and paintings seldom seen before, or never seen before in Europe; it will show where is Frida last resting place and who are really the friends she painted in her early years.

In addition to seldom seen paintings, the exhibition shows over 70 original dresses from Mexico and pieces of jewelry like the ones Frida used to wear, and 60 pieces of rare textiles preciously hand woven or hand embroidered coming from the South of Mexico. With over 100 Frida Kahlo replica- paintings, 250 photos and 13 video, Frida Kahlo tragic and beautiful life can be experienced and understood as never before. The exhibition will last from February 1st 2020 to June 14 2020.
