Description LA CASA AZUL invites you to experience not only Frida Kahlo's world, but also her unique way of seeing the world.
Historical events are overlaid with her paintings. Documentary texts are used alongside her most personal diary entries. Images flourish where words alone cannot convey the sheer strangeness and intensity of her life.
LA CASA AZUL (The Blue House) is Kahlo's birthplace in Mexico, where she lived with husband Diego Rivera and where she died in 1954. Diego rivera gifted it to the people of Mexico after her death.
