We will start in the charming 16th century former town of Coyoacan, a southwestern suburb of Mexico City. This is Frida's hometown. She was born here in 1907 and lived the last 13 years of her life in - The Blue House in this neighborhood.
Coyoacan remains a delightful place, outside the urban sprawl of Mexico City. It is close to the University city, featuring narrow, colonial-era streets, cafes and a Bohemian atmosphere. Plaza Hidalgo and its lovely gardens, the magnificent Parish Church of Saint John the Baptist and its incredible paintings draw strollers who enjoy musicians, crafts markets and mimes who set up here making it one of the best walking areas of the world.
The Frida Kahlo Museum (Blue House) includes many personal items of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera as well as art collections from their famous friends. The museum also keeps Frida Kahlo's personal collection of prehispanic art.
We will also visit the Dolores Olmedo Museum. See the interesting engravings of Angelina Beloff who was the sentimental companion of Diego Rivera during his stay in Europe - as well as important collections of pre-Hispanic, popular and colonial art pieces that complete the pile.
Frida is alive and well in her self portrait paintings and we can think of no better way to learn and understand her life than by going through the artwork shown here. We then continue to Diego Rivera's Studio Museum. It exhibits paintings, prehispanic pieces, popular art, photos, documents, personal objects and different works of both artists, as well as the original house plans from Juan O'Gorman.
In the early evening we'll return to your hotel.
