Overview

• Opened to the public on 27 September, the museum occupies Casa Roja in Coyoacán, a short walk from Casa Azul.
• Exhibition design by Rockwell Group with architect Mariana Doet Zepeda Orozco and graphics by Pentagram reconstructs domestic spaces, including a candlelit basement retreat and a courtyard anchored by a grapefruit tree.
• The collection draws from family archives, featuring previously unseen letters, early sketches, a small portrait of Diego Rivera, Guillermo Kahlo’s glass negatives and personal effects.
• The kitchen displays murals presented by the museum as Frida Kahlo’s only murals, with dating under conservation study after elements were uncovered during restoration.
• The institution is administered by director Adán García Fajardo with chief curator Adriana Miranda, with family stewardship and support that includes the Fundación Kahlo, and reported assistance from private patrons.
