Lonely Planet review

If you saw the movie Frida, you'll recognize the Diego Rivera & Frida Kahlo Studio Museum, 1km northwest of Plaza San Jacinto. Designed by their friend, the architect and painter Juan O'Gorman, the innovative abode was the home of the artistic couple from 1934 to 1940, with a separate house for each of them. Frida lived there for five years until she decided to divorce Diego for supposedly having an affair with her sister, and took her things over to the Casa Azul in Coyoacán. (They remarried soon afterward.)

Rivera's house preserves his upstairs studio, including Rivera's collection of Judas effigies. Frida's (the blue one) contains changing exhibits from the memorabilia archives.
