A brand-new Frida Kahlo museum is coming to Mexico City
Mexico City is already the ultimate pilgrimage destination for fans of Frida Kahlo's raw, thought-provoking and world-famous paintings, but a brand-new venue dedicated to this legendary artist is set to open in the city in the autumn. Casa Roja, which is scheduled to open on September 27, will house the brand-new Museo Casa Kahlo, located in the Mexican capital's Coyoacán area, not too far from Casa Azul. While the latter is Kahlo's birthplace and opened as a museum way back in 1958 through a trust established by her husband and artist Diego Rivera, Museo Casa Kahlo is the first institution to be run by descendants of the iconic Mexican painter. The property used to belong to her parents and then to her younger sister, Cristina. It has remained in the family for decades, and Kahlo's grandniece, Mara Romeo Kahlo, has allowed researchers and public figures such as Salma Hayek into the house's archive. This is the first time it will open as a public museum. So, what can we expect? Well, Museo Casa Kahlo will incorporate Kahlo's dolls, clothing, jewellery, personal letters, photographs and lots of other objects and documents to provide visitors with an up-close and personal insight into the artists' childhood. The photography of Kahlo's father, Guillermo, will also be on display, and the museum will include space for rotating exhibitions showcasing artwork by Mexican, Latin American and women artists. Adán García Fajardo, the Museum of Memory and Tolerance's current academic director, will lead Museo Casa Kahlo and it will be overseen by the newly-founded Fundación Kahlo, a New York-based non-profit. 'This is a dream long held by our family,' Mara Romeo Kahlo said in a statement, according to The Art Newspaper. 'Frida's legacy belongs to the world, but it begins here – on this land, in these homes and in the culture that shaped her.' Elsewhere in Coyoacán, you'll find street murals and life-size bronze statues of Frida Kahlo, so make sure you venture past some of those on your way to the museums. Oh, and have a look at the very best things to do in Mexico City.

Museo Casa Kahlo, a New Frida Kahlo Museum, Will Open in Mexico City This Fall
In 1904, the Hungarian-German immigrant Guillermo Kahlo built a house in the Coyoacán neighborhood of Mexico City. There, he would raise his children and establish himself as a sought-after photographer, documenting the region's Colonial architecture. One of his daughters, Frida, would even help her father in the dark room, developing negatives, retouching photos, and arguably beginning her artistic education. As an adult, Frida Kahlo would occupy the same house with her husband, Diego Rivera, transforming it into a gathering place for great personalities of the era: Leon Trotsky, Henry Moore, André Breton. The house has had a vibrant afterlife as well. In 1958, four years after Kahlo's death, it was converted into the now-beloved Museo Frida Kahlo (known to many as Casa Azul), which vies with the National Museum of Anthropology for the rank of most-visited museum in Mexico City. Salma Hayek, paying tribute to one of Kahlo's most iconic paintings, 1939's The Two Fridas, for Vogue. Photographed by Annie Leibovitz, Vogue, December 2001 Last night, a new chapter in Kahlo's story was announced at the Park Avenue residence of Christine and Stephen Schwarzman: The public opening of a Museo Casa Kahlo, adjacent to the storied Casa Azul, will take place on September 27. Already dubbed 'Casa Roja,' the building where the new museum will be housed was originally owned by Frida Kahlo's parents; she later purchased it from them as a home for her sister Christina and Christina's family. 'Cristina was by her side through so much,' says Frida Hentschel Romeo, Kahlo's great-grand-niece, 'traveling with her to New York for her first major exhibition, supporting her through surgeries and recovery.' Frida Hentschel, Mara Romeo Kahlo, and Mara De Anda Romeo Photo: Julieta Cervantes Kahlo's closest living descendants—Mara Romeo Kahlo (Christina's granddaughter and Kahlo's grand-niece), her daughter Mara Deanda Kahlo (Kahlo's great-grand-niece), and Hentschel Romeo—came to New York to publicize the new institution. 'For the first time, the voice of the family will be at the heart of how Frida's story is told,' says Hentschel Romeo. 'This museum isn't just about her work—it's about her world. It's about how the people closest to her shaped who she became. And it's also about the living family—those of us who carry her legacy forward.' The museum will exhibit personal items that have never been shown before, including letters, childhood photographs, a piece of embroidery Kahlo made at the age of five, dolls, jewelry, clothing, and the very first oil painting she ever created. This was the painting, says Hentschel Romeo, that Kahlo showed to Diego Rivera to determine if she had the skill to become a painter. 'It is incredibly moving to see up close,' she adds. The museum will also showcase a newly discovered mural—believed to be the only Frida Kahlo mural in existence.
