A new museum dedicated to the early life of the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo is opening in Mexico City. Located in the city’s historic Coyoacán district, the Museo Casa Kahlo will tell the Mexican painter’s story through letters, toys, artworks and other personal items.
“This museum isn’t just about her work—it’s about her world,” Frida Hentschel Romeo, Kahlo’s great-grand-niece, tells Vogue’s Chloe Schama. “It’s about how the people closest to her shaped who she became. And it’s also about the living family—those of us who carry her legacy forward.”
The museum will occupy a building known as Casa Roja, a home belonging to the Kahlo family. It’s next door to the already famous Casa Azul, the family home built by Kahlo’s father in 1904.
