What is the name of Frida Kahlo’s family home, now a museum in Coyoacán?

Frida Kahlo’s family home, now the Frida Kahlo Museum, is known as La Casa Azul.

La Casa Azul means “the Blue House” in Spanish, referring to the building’s vivid blue exterior. It stands in Coyoacán, Mexico City, where Kahlo was born and where she spent much of her life. The house was built by her parents in 1904, before her birth, and later became a place shared with Diego Rivera.

After Kahlo died in 1954, Rivera arranged for the house to become a museum. The Frida Kahlo Museum opened to the public in 1958. Its rooms preserve furniture, clothing, personal possessions, photographs, and examples of Kahlo’s work.

The museum is important because it presents Kahlo not only as a painter but also through the environments and objects that shaped her identity. Its blue walls, garden, traditional clothing, and collection of personal artifacts have made it one of Mexico City’s most visited cultural sites.
