This is the blue house in which Frida Kahlo was born and lived, and in which Diego Rivera asked for her hand in marriage. This is where they offered their hospitality to Trotsky and his wife in 1937, and where all four met up with Andre Breton in 1939.

After Trotsky’s departure, Frida, now separated from Diego, retuned to the house of her childhood. The garden, planted with cacti, decorated with idols and a terracotta pyramid, leads to rooms dospla8yihng Frida’s works, as well as drawings by Rivera, paintings, letters, photos and pre-Hispanic objects.

The décor is completed by the Indian costumes Frida loved so much, along with her giant dummies and piñatas. The staircase, decorated with 2,000 naïve commemorative, metal plaques, goes up to her bedroom and her studio, where her wheelchair remains in front of her easel, complete with her unfinished portrait of Stalin.
