Fridomaniacs? Yes we are, and I'm sure there are thousands or more people feeling the same towards Frida Kahlo. So we are visiting Mexico City and be present in the big and fabulous exhibition about Frida Kahlo's life in Palacio de Bellas Artes or the National Palace of Fine Arts (Above), the same place where she was taken when she died.
In Mexico City's downtown or "Centro Histórico" there are buildings from the past, great and majestic buildings, in one of them called "Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso" Frida and Diego met. He was in the process of one of his murals, she studying High School.
Of course the famous "Casa Azul"or Blue House, where Frida was born, lived and died too. Now a museum located in her beloved Coyoacan. In Frida's time it was a village, now part of the city.
What is inside of Frida's house? her belongings, like her bed.
La casa de Diego y Frida, this house is a museum too, not far from "La Casa Azul", it was ordered to be constructed by her husband the painter and muralist Diego Rivera, the architect was Juan O'gorman, (famous Mexican architect). As you can see the house has "organic elements" like the cactus fence. The couple lived here for a short period of time, after they came back from the U.S and before their divorce, unless I found out other things in our trip.
Diego and Frida walking around their house. They married again.
Xochimilco, Frida enjoyed the canals and produce of the "Floating Gardens" known as "Chinampas", today Xochimilco has a traditional area and an ecological park created in 1993 as part of an "ecological rescue project".
