Frida Kahlo's ashes are kept in an urn inside the house, currently displayed in her studio.
The museum contains a large collection of Mexican folk art and Retablo paintings gathered by Kahlo and Rivera.
Diego Rivera designed the wing of the house added in 1946 to expand his studio space.
The property contains a pyramid-style structure in the courtyard built by Rivera to display his pre-Columbian stone idol collection.
The bed in the master bedroom features a mirror on the canopy, which Kahlo used to paint self-portraits while bedridden.
Much of the interior decor has been preserved to reflect the aesthetic preferences of the couple in the early 1950s.
The Frida Kahlo Museum, known as La Casa Azul, is the historical residence where artist Frida Kahlo was born, lived, and died. Located in the Coyoacán district of Mexico City, the structure is painted a signature cobalt blue. The museum displays a collection of Kahlo’s personal belongings, including her prosthetic leg, original paintbrushes, and medicinal supplies. Visitors can view several of her original works, such as 'Viva la Vida' and 'Frida and the Caesarean Operation'. The garden features pre-Hispanic artifacts collected by Kahlo and her husband, Diego Rivera. The house preserves the architectural layout of a typical 1920s family home in Coyoacán. The site serves as both a museum and a primary research center for Kahlo’s life and artistic career. The property was donated by Diego Rivera to become a museum in 1958, four years after Kahlo's death.
