House of Blue

Posted on July 13, 2025 by Ken Dowell

La Casa Azul was the home of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera from 1929 to 1954. Located in the Coyoacán neighborhood of Mexico City, it is now the Museo Frida Kahlo. It houses a good collection of Kahlo’s paintings, many of her personal belongings and objects of art and a beautiful garden that well captures the artsy vibe of the home.

    I like the title you chose for this collection; much like a house of blues venue seeks to celebrate diversity and promote racial and spiritual harmony through music.
