ocated on Londres 247, in one of the most beautiful and oldest neighborhoods in Coyoacan, Casa Azul is one of the best museums in Mexico City, you have to know it!
​
It is one of the tourist and cultural sites of Mexico. It once belong to the Kahlo family since 1904 and four years after the death of Frida it was turned into a museum. In Casa Azul great personalities lived such as Leon Trotsky, Henry Moore and Andre Breton.

​Among the most famous works are Viva la vida y Frida y la cesárea. It is worth mentioning that the largest and most important public collection of Frida Kahlo is located in the Dolores Olmedo Patiño museum.

​This reminds us of what Frida thought when comparing her work with Surrealism: "They think that I am surrealist, but it is not true, I am not, I have never painted what I dream, I paint my own reality".

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.

Casa Azul is ideal to visit it on weekends, get to know a little more about Frida and spend an unforgettable moment surrounded by the art and culture of one of the greatest exponents in Mexico, we recommend it!
