Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo

ArchitectureArtHistoryOpen until 5:30pmFrom £50Altavista (Metrobús Line 1)

In 1931 Diego Rivera commissioned Juan O'Gorman to design two linked house-studios, one for himself and one for Frida Kahlo, among the first functionalist buildings in Latin America. Kahlo painted key works here in the 1930s, and Rivera kept working in his north-lit, saw-tooth-roofed studio until his death in 1957, producing most of his easel paintings. Run by INBAL since 1981 and opened as a museum in 1986, it preserves Rivera's studio, his Judas figures and folk-art collection, and hosts temporary exhibitions on the couple and their circle.
