13th July 2026 is the 72nd anniversary of Frida Kahlo's death
13 July 2026
The Blue House (Frida Kahlo Museum) in Mexico City rememembers her passing, and commemorates the opening of her home as a museum; a space that, since 1958, has safeguarded her memory, her belongings, her paintings, her gardens, and the intimate atmosphere that was part of her story.
This year, the Frida Kahlo Museum celebrates three important dates: the 119th anniversary of her birth, on July 6, 1907; the 72nd anniversary of her death, on July 13, 1954; and the 68th anniversary of the opening of the Blue House as a museum, on July 30, 1958. For this July edition, Frida Month, the program explores nature as a constant presence in Frida Kahlo's life, home, and work.
At the Blue House, this relationship is evident in one of its most vibrant spaces: the Garden. There, trees, plants, flowers, volcanic rocks, animals, and pre-Hispanic artifacts coexisted, forming part of Frida and Diego's daily environment. More than just an outdoor space, the Garden was an integral part of the intimate experience of the House: a place where nature, family memories, love for Mexico, and artistic imagination converged.
This close connection to nature is also evident in Frida's work. In her still lifes and nature scenes, fruits, flowers, roots, leaves, animals, and objects are not merely represented as elements of the environment, but as presences imbued with color, form, and meaning. From the everyday, Frida constructed images where natural life engages in dialogue with identity, the body, memory, and the land.
This year, the museum invites visitors to observe these presences from the Blue House, its garden, and a festive, sensitive, and accessible program for audiences of all ages.
