In life, Diego Rivera asked Dolores Olmedo that once he and Frida died, to turn the house into a museum, leaving everything open to the public except for a bathroom, which could be opened fifteen years after his death. The years passed and when they opened the space they discovered documents, photos, dresses and books.
