This was home to the enigmatic painter Frida Kahlo (often called "the paintbrush of angst") where she occasionally lived with her husband Diego Rivera. Personal objects such as jewelry, unfinished canvases propped on easels, her typical tehuana ornate dresses, paper maché and pre-Hispanic objects, as well as her wheelchair, are on display in the studio where she painted. Works by Mexican painters such as José María Velasco, Claussel and Orozco among others, are exhibited alongside some of Frida's own paintings. No photography is allowed. Admission prices: MXN20 adults; MXN10 students and teachers; free for seniors.
