Mexico City: Frida Kahlo Museum Tickets & Casa Kahlo Entry

Summary

Walk through Frida’s Blue House or explore her legacy at Casa Kahlo with entry tickets and a digital guide

You’ll wander through Frida Kahlo’s original Blue House in Mexico City or dive into her story at the immersive Casa Kahlo Museum. Expect to see personal belongings up close, stroll garden paths where she once painted, and use your digital guide to catch details you might miss otherwise. Your ticket includes skip-the-line entry and access to Anahuacalli if you choose La Casa Azul—let yourself get lost in her colors for a while.

What’s the experience like?

We shuffled past the cobalt walls of the Frida Kahlo Museum, or La Casa Azul, in Coyoacán — I’d seen photos before, but the color hits differently when you’re actually there. There was this faint smell of earth and old paint as we stepped inside, and our digital guide pinged softly from my phone. A group of school kids were giggling by the garden gate; someone’s abuela waved them quiet. The rooms felt close, almost crowded with memories — Frida’s dresses hanging like ghosts in the corner, Diego Rivera’s sketches peeking out from under glass. I kept pausing to look at little things: a chipped cup on her kitchen shelf, a mirror angled just so above her bed. You can’t really rush it.

I tried reading one of her letters on display (my Spanish is embarrassing), and a local staff member smiled when I mouthed the words out loud — she told me about how Frida would paint here even on bad days, sunlight cutting through blue window frames. The museum ticket also got us into Anahuacalli afterward, which honestly surprised me — that place is wild, all volcanic stone and shadows. If you go for the Casa Kahlo Museum instead, it’s more modern: big installations, soundscapes echoing down white halls. It felt less like walking through someone’s home and more like stepping into her headspace — not better or worse, just different.

I still think about that courtyard garden at La Casa Azul — birds hopping around Frida’s old fountain while visitors drifted quietly past. There was this moment where everything went still for a second; maybe it was just me being sentimental (or tired from all the standing), but it stuck with me anyway.
