This full day tour will
show you: The Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera Museums, which were also places
where they spend most of their lives and the Dolores Olmedo Museum. Mexico
City is one vibrant city just like this incredible Mexican woman called it
her home. Come along with us for a visit to Frida Kahlo’s blue house and
her neighborhood in Coyoacan, the Blue House, and other special places in
Mexico City. We will start in the charming 16th century former town of
Coyoacan, a southwestern suburb of Mexico City This is Frida's home-town,
where she was born in 1907 and also lived here for her last 13 years in
“The Blue House”. Coyoacan remains a delightful place, outside the urban
sprawl of Mexico City .
It is close to the University city, featuring narrow, colonial-era
streets, Cafes and a Bohemian atmosphere. The Plaza Hidalgo, Coyoacan's
central plaza, and its lovely gardens, the magnificent Parish Church of
Saint John the Baptist and its incredible paintings that draw strollers
who enjoy the musicians, crafts markets and mimes who set up here making
it one of the best walking areas of the world. The Frida Kahlo Museum
(Blue House) includes many personal items of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera
as well as a collection of art from then and from famous friends of
theirs. The museum also keeps Frida Kahlo's personal collection of
prehispanic art. We will also visit the Dolores Olmedo Museum.
To meet Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo’s most important collections at
worldwide level, in addition to interesting engravings of Angelina Beloff
who was the sentimental companion of Diego Rivera during his stay in
Europe as well as important collections of pre-Hispanic, popular and
colonial art pieces that complete the pile. Frida is alive and well in her
self portrait paintings and we can think of no better way to learn and
understand about her and her life rather than going through the artwork
shown here.
We continue Visiting Diego Rivera’s Studio-Museum The museum is integrated
by the houses of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, designed and constructed
from 1929 to 1932 by Juan O’ Gorman in San Angel, another famous Mexican
painter and architect, whose work represent the first modern houses ever
buildt in Mexico. The museum exhibits paintings, prehispanic pieces,
popular art, photos, documents, personal objects and different works of
both artists, as well as the original house plans from Juan O’Gorman. In
the early evening we'll return to your hotel. |
