Later, at the Frida Kahlo Museum learn some relevant fun facts about Frida’s childhood, family, and friends, as well as the accident that changed her life. And, while looking at her artworks, get from your guide fascinating insights into some of her most famous paintings.

Then, visit Diego Rivera’s House Estudio located in the nearby neighborhood San Angel. Admire the functionalist-style ornamentation of this house, visible in each room as well as in its modern façade, while hearing stories about Diego’s life as an artist and also as a person.

Finally, after an optional lunch, stop at the Anahuacalli Museum to see its unique building inspired by pre-Columbian architecture. Once inside, have a look at the amazing collection of pre-Hispanic sculptures that Rivera preserved in life.

After a day full of discoveries, return to our vehicle and relax on the way back to your accommodation.
