Kahlo’s Family Opens Casa Roja
Mark your calendars for 27 September! Frida Kahlo’s descendants will open Museo Casa Kahlo right next to her famed Casa Azul in Coyoacán. Inside, you’ll discover the personal objects, letters and photographs the family has preserved for generations. As the family told Vogue, “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.”
