★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you saw the movie “Frida” this is a must stop on your visit to Mexico City because actual scenes were filmed here and it will give you a better understanding of how Frida and Diego lived.
But that’s not the only reason to visit this museum. It’s architecture and surroundings will immerse you in the life of the very famous Diego Rivera. The architecture of the place speaks for itself. It evokes the modernists of the time incorporating the artist’s request of a house formed of two bodies.
The scale of the spaces and stairs are off considering the size of Diego being his workspace the only one that seems coherent to his stature. The fully openable windows In The context of San Angel (Neighbourhood where it’s located) allows you to imagine life at the time Diego and Frida inhabited it.
Check for temporary visits before going! Some areas of the house might be closed if there is no exhibit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went there last week but except for the architecture and one room with furniture and a few paintings there isn’t much to see inside the house, which makes me wonder why this place gets such amazing reviews. Did I miss something??? In my opinion it was certainly less interesting than what I expected because there’s just not much to see in the house itself, most rooms are empty or almost empty.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This house was designed by the architect Juan O'Gorman, it was the study of the famous artist Diego Rivera, it is located at San Ángel Inn and was his study & living quarters until November 1957 when he passed away.
Adjacent to it, there is a second house where his wife lived, Frida Kahlo. Both houses are connected by a bridge on the third floor.
Today it is a small museum having some of their art, however, the best works are at museums around the world.
There was a line of people waiting to be admitted to the museum all covered with masks.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Admission required: CASH only.
This is the place where Frida and Diego had lived. This is also definitely what my dream home would look like: two free souls working and living together but also independently. The views from the patios are particularly good! And the place is not crowded either. Definitely recommended.
I wish I could go back to this place again. But I’d better keep this as a once in a lifetime piece of memory.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Entry is cheap, but the exhibit focuses almost entirely on Diego when Frida deserves much more attention.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome first example of functionality architecture. Also very interesting story of this family and architect. I have a lot of pleasure to be there in sunset, soft light, quiet place.
Diego’s part of house look like nothing has change from time when he lives there, but Fridas part of house somehow almost empty. Cost 30 pesos but in Sunday’s it’s for free

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very interesting building. It has spiral steps between floors. Also it has original furniture and a lot of pieces of art made by Diego Rivera. And it has some pieces from his pre-hispanic collection of statures. It also has pictures of Frida Kahlo.Everything there is original and very well kept.
