The 27 Best Things to Do in Mexico City

"Also known as "Casa Azul" for its shocking cobalt blue exterior, this museum is the former home where Frida Khalo was born and raised. She lived (and eventually died) in the home, which she shared with her fellow artist/husband, Diego Rivera. While the collection of their own artwork is small, what's perhaps more impressive is the couple’s collection of folk art, pre-Hispanic artifacts, photographs, memorabilia, personal items, and more. There are only a few Khalo and Rivera paintings in addition to other contemporary artists of their era. But no matter, seeing the house itself and how she lived is why you're here. The home is carefully preserved and maintained; it's easy to imagine the spaces as they were during Kahlo's time. The small cafe is set in the home's beautiful gardens; it's a nice place to sit and reflect on a quiet day at the museum." - Scarlett Lindeman
