Overview

Follow the artistic worlds of Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Juan O’Gorman on a private journey through three landmark sites in Mexico City.

Begin at the Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo, one of Latin America’s pioneering examples of functionalist architecture. Explore the studios designed by O’Gorman and discover how the architecture reflected the artists’ work and relationship.

Continue to UNAM’s campus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where O’Gorman’s monumental stone mosaic covers the four façades of the Biblioteca Central and tells the story of Mexican culture from the pre-Hispanic era to the modern age.

Finish at Casa Azul, Frida’s longtime home and creative sanctuary. Personal belongings, photographs, artworks, and intimate spaces offer a closer understanding of her life, artistic vision, and enduring legacy.

With a private guide, this tour brings together modernist architecture, monumental muralism and Frida Kahlo’s world in one seamless experience.
