You can explore the legacy of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera—two of Mexico's most prolific artists—across Mexico City. However, at the pink and blue Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo Studio-Museum, their life and work intersect, making it ideal for travelers with limited time who want to see both Rivera’s cluttered workshop and Kahlo’s sparse living quarters. For more structured insights into the Studio-Museum take a city tour that includes a stop here.
The museum is ideal for Frida and Diego fans, as well as Mexico City travelers who want to see something different.
The Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo Studio-Museum is a relatively small space, worth an hour of your time.
There’s free entry for children under 13.
Arrange a guided tour—between 10am and 5pm—ahead of time via email or phone.
Gravel, staircases, and narrow corridors mean the Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo Studio-Museum isn’t accessible for those with mobility issues.
The Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo Studio-Museum is in the residential, upmarket San Ángel neighborhood, towards the south of the city. Street parking is available, but it’s more convenient to take Line 3 of the metro to Viveros/Derechos Humanos before grabbing a taxi the rest of the way. Alternatively, skip the hassle and take a city tour that includes round-trip transportation.
The Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo Studio-Museum is open every day except Monday. There’s free entry for all on Sundays, although the Studio-Museum is likely to be busier than usual as a result. To avoid the largest crowds, consider visiting in the morning.
Combine your visit to the Studio-Museum in San Ángel, in the south of Mexico City, with other nearby attractions. About five blocks southeast—on Saturdays—you can shop for high-quality souvenirs and art at El Bazaar Sábado. Further south still, visit the Plaza Loreto Soumaya Museum, a free-to-enter art gallery.
