Museo Frida Kahlo - Entrance

Museo Frida Kahlo

What is there to say that hasn't been said already this is a must-see in CDMX. Refresh your memory…read moreon the life of Frida before your visit, and you will feel and relive her art in her home. I've been here twice, and both times I listened to the Frida soundtrack in 1 ear while touring her home. Frida Kahlo was an amazing, tortured, incredible soul. Her story and art live on in this home. So thankful we get to experience it. Arrive early; they are sticklers with times. Backpacks will be checked in. Get your tickets at least 1 week in advance! Enjoy the markets of Coyoacán!

(Review based on 3.5 stars)…read more I am so glad that I had done my research about visiting Museo Frida Kahlo prior to coming because you must purchase your tickets online in advance (one to two weeks at least but it is better to purchase earlier if you are able). You will not be able to purchase the day before or the day of online because those tickets would have already sold out. And just as everyone has said, this museum does not sell any tickets at the door. Please note that you will be purchasing timed tickets and you have a short 15 minute window to arrive or you miss your time slot. But if you are after the 15 minute grace period, staff will just put you in the next time slot. I think I am in the minority here with my overall experience of the Museo Frida Kahlo in which I did not like it as much as I had expected. The home and grounds itself is beautiful and I just as I would have imagined visiting an artist's home, it was beautifully and tastefully decorated/ displayed. But placement of items and information boards were not well spread out and so it would bottleneck and get crowded in places. Also people would get really close to me and rub against me or my small purse, which I really was not a fan of (I really value my personal space). Frida Kahlo did live quite a tragic life and she truly was a resilient woman who could have spiraled downward but instead, she channeled her energy into art. But I will say it was rather disappointing that you do not learn much about her life in this museum and would learn more with your own reading online (from a credible source) or from school. In Frida Kahlo's home, I did love the kitchen the most. I loved how it was decorated with these little tiny cups to create a design on the wall and also to spell out both Frida and Diego's name. A building outside of her home is where there is a display of her clothes was actually what I enjoyed the most of this museum. I also preferred the restrooms on this side over the other restrooms closes to the exit of her home. Our visit was fine and am glad I was able to come. But I don't know if I would necessary consider this a must visit if you are visiting Mexico City. It is nice that your purchase of this museum also includes admission to Anahuacalli Museum, Diego's museum but it focuses on his sculptures and not his murals that you may know him more of. And also those tickets for his museum expire in one year. Lastly, after visiting here, consider walking to Mercado Coyoacán, which is about a 10 minute easy walk if you want to grab lunch and do a little browsing and shopping.

The National Museum of Popular Culture is a small to mid-sized museum located in Coyoacán district…read morein CDMX, that collects and catalogs, displays, promotes, and preserves traditional and contemporary art pieces, art forms, and handicrafts of varied regions, cultures/ethnicities and social groups within Mexico. The entrance is a little confusing, the front doorway closest to the road only leads to the library/bookshop. Follow the path around the right where one entry to an exhibit is via the building's back entrance and entry to another exhibit is via the building on the back right. When I visited on a Sunday, entrance was free and there was also no one directly stopping visitors to ask for tickets, so I ended up wandering around a couple minutes to find the entrances. While not a huge museum, it was interesting to drop by and check out the current exhibits. There were 3.5 galleries displaying artworks when I visited in January, the half gallery being basically two small rooms with nacimientos (Mexican nativity scene models of varied media and art forms). The larger rooms held works of 1) an art collective focused on traditional and contemporary art forms of the Michoacán region, 2) winning submissions from the 50th edition of the National Folk Art Competition of 2025, which featured all sorts of traditional, contemporary and fusion art forms enriched with Mexican iconography and techniques, 3) "Creators: Dreams and Realities: Indigenous and Afro-descendant Women in the Arts," which shared contemporary works by women in marginalized communities. A lot of creativity and talent in a small space! The museum took about 30 minutes to walk thru, not crowded at all on a Sunday afternoon even considering free admission, actually very quiet and with only a few other visitors. Note for non-Spanish speakers, there are minimal descriptions in English so plan to brush up on your Duolingo or use a translation app. General admission: $21 pesos Free Admission for: - children under 12 years of age, - student, teacher, or INAPAM members with valid ID (ages 60+) Sundays: free admission for the general public For more info: https://mncp.cultura.gob.mx
