Frida Kahlo's family announced the opening of Museo Casa Kahlo (Casa Roja) on September 27, 2023, near Casa Azul in Mexico City. This new museum is the first governed by Kahlo's descendants and emphasizes her youth through various artifacts, including personal items, letters, and artwork. Unlike Casa Azul, which highlights her adult life, Casa Roja provides an in-depth look at her formative years. The initiative is seen as a significant cultural step to fortify the neighborhood's status as a Kahlo pilgrimage site while showcasing the artist's early influences.
The newly projected Museo Casa Kahlo, or Casa Roja, will showcase Frida Kahlo's formative years and is the first museum run by her descendants.
Casa Roja offers an intimate glimpse into Kahlo’s childhood with belongings ranging from her dolls, clothing, personal letters to a unique mural work.
Frida Kahlo's family is positioning the new museum as a pivotal site for understanding the artist's early life compared to the more popular Casa Azul.
Led by Adrián García Fajardo, Casa Roja will bridge Kahlo’s historical significance and her family's legacy, enriching the artistic landscape of Mexico City.
