 Frida & Diego

Yesterday I made the trip down to San Angel again, this time to visit the Museo Casa Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo, and was really disappointed that I had, although all turned out well in the end, as it does! The architect designed building contained a studio and house for each of them, the red for Diego and the blue for Frida. They lived there together for about 6 years before she returned to the Casa Azul in Coyoacán. The museum retains Diego's studio and a little of the memorabilia, but not very exciting, and Frida's house was closed. But as  said things turned out well in the end.


  There was another Aussie, Vanessa, there and we decided to return to the Casa Azul together. It is such a beautiful building and this time I decided to pay the extra and take some photos which was well worth it.

It was lovely to have company wandering through the house and to really look again at the amazing works and photographs displayed there.

I will put the rest of the pics on Flickr, soon.
