""The collection was always intended to be housed in a museum," Coronel Rivera said during a press conference at Museo Anahuacalli last month. "But I never thought it would end up here.""
""The trust jointly administers the Museo Anahuacalli and the Museo Frida Kahlo, known as Casa Azul.""
""Coronel Rivera-a photographer, art historian, writer and collector-spent more than four decades building his collection, shaped by his engagement with Mexican art.""
Juan Rafael Coronel Rivera donated 157,300 pieces from his private collection to Museo Anahuacalli, expanding its holdings and reviving Diego Rivera's cultural vision. The donation includes ceramics, textiles, wooden objects, prints, photographs, and a research library, with items dating from the 16th century to the present. The collection will be moved in stages, starting with ceramics. Coronel Rivera, a photographer and art historian, spent over four decades building his eclectic collection, which does not include works by Diego Rivera or Frida Kahlo. The donation renews focus on Rivera's 1955 trust for public museums.
