The Kahlo family celebrated the first anniversary of "Museo Casa Kahlo" in Coyoacán last 27 Sept. Over 100,000 people have visited the museum since it opened one year ago.
The museum, which highlights details of Frida Kahlo's family and private life, is housed in Casa Roja, also known as "The Red House," a brick house that was formerly owned by Cristina, Frida's sister.
Casa Roja, a peaceful, private sanctuary where the artist could retreat from her tumultuous public life with Diego Rivera, was located just blocks from Frida's renowned Museo Frida Kahlo (Casa Azul).
In addition to a mural she painted in the kitchen, visitors can view a replica of her personal studio complete with her supplies and personal belongings.
In its first year, "Museo Casa Kahlo" earned prestigious spots on TIME’s World’s Greatest Places 2026, Time Out’s 26 Best Things to Do in the World in 2026, and J.P. Morgan’s NextList 2026 for its exceptional contribution to global arts and culture. The institution attracts an equal mix of Mexican and international tourists, highlighting its success in sharing Frida Kahlo’s intimate family history with a diverse global audience.
“When we opened our family home to the public, our goal was always to bring visitors from Mexico and from all over the world together to celebrate a part of Frida’s life that had gone unspoken too long,” said Mara Romeo Kahlo, Frida Kahlo’s grandniece and legal heir, who represents the family's ongoing legacy.
“To see 100,000 people walk through these rooms in our first year, and connect not only with Frida the artist, but with Frida as a daughter, sister, and member of this family, has been extraordinarily meaningful to us.”
