I really enjoyed my experience - despite there being restorations happening which prevents you from exploring the entire property, I appreciated being able to visit Diego’s studio and also being offered a brief explanation of the history of the building offered by a volunteer working on site - she was very kind, thorough, and did an excellent job explaining the history entirely in English.

One of our best experiences in Mexico city.

The pictures will speak for themselves, but this house is beautiful.

Carlos was an impeccable tour guide. My wife and I wanted to find him on IG so that we could reach out and tell him how much we loved our trip because of him.

Make sure to pay for the Tour Guide experience. They will walk you through the story of Functionalism and be able to expand the ideas of the house into so much Mexican history.

It really was a great experience

Just marvelous place, history and artifacts. Frida and Diego, two of the most important personalities of Mexican culture. This house is a testament of their relationship displayed as architecture, the separation of the two buildings by a bridge depicting their constant disconnect yet always connected. Truly an amazing experience. There is a lot of tourists, so visit early in the morning or on a weekday.

Awesome first example of functionality architecture. Also very interesting story of this family and architect. I have a lot of pleasure to be there in sunset, soft light, quiet place.
Diego’s part of house look like nothing has change from time when he lives there, but Fridas part of house somehow almost empty. Cost 30 pesos but in Sunday’s it’s for free

If you're a fan of Mexicos history and influence of architecture and art, this is one of the places to learn more in depth of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo's life and art.

This was a dream come through. Always wanted to see Casa Azul and Panzon's Museum since I saw the Frida movie. Beautiful place. Love the simplicity in which they lived, had a great and unique gift for painting.

A nice experience for fans of Rivera and Kahlo. The section where Frida lived was off limits during our visit, but the other aspects of the property were a great sight. For fans of the artists and architecture, it’s a must see.

Very interesting building. It has spiral steps between floors. Also it has original furniture and a lot of pieces of art made by Diego Rivera. And it has some pieces from his pre-hispanic collection of statures. It also has pictures of Frida Kahlo.Everything there is original and very well kept.

Beautiful exhibit illustrating the foundations of what we know today as Frida. Thoughtful detail was put into the displays including her medical equipment, dresses, painting materials and analysis into how her experiences shaped her work. You will be asked to pay an extra $30 pesos to take photos (video not allowed), which honestly could be included in the ticket price because it’s definitely worth it and ~ $1.50 USD. They stagger letting people in by ticket times (q15min) which allowed us to freely explore and not feel crowded. Helpful arrows on the floor to provide you with directions to see everything. We spent a little over an hour there but easily could have lingered in the courtyard/garden longer if we had time. We also discovered when we got there that our tickets were for the wrong day but the staff graciously allowed us to come for the allotted ticket time. This was huge as they were fully sold out for the rest of the week. Hitting mid afternoon meant we were there during golden hour and I recommend timing it this way if possible! The garden was glowing and you will certainly find inspiration here.

Nice relaxing visit to Diego Rivera residence. Much less crowded with tourists than visiting Frida Kahlo Museum which was her main residence.

If you saw the movie “Frida” this is a must stop on your visit to Mexico City because actual scenes were filmed here and it will give you a better understanding of how Frida and Diego lived.

But that’s not the only reason to visit this museum. It’s architecture and surroundings will immerse you in the life of the very famous Diego Rivera. The architecture of the place speaks for itself. It evokes the modernists of the time incorporating the artist’s request of a house formed of two bodies.

The scale of the spaces and stairs are off considering the size of Diego being his workspace the only one that seems coherent to his stature. The fully openable windows In The context of San Angel (Neighbourhood where it’s located) allows you to imagine life at the time Diego and Frida inhabited it.

Check for temporary visits before going! Some areas of the house might be closed if there is no exhibit.

This museum is the former home and art studio of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo built in 1932. Both buildings are connected by a tiny bridge at roof level. Diego's is larger than Frida's, at the distance it resembles their physical look, like the couple standing together. It has minimalistic decoration and furniture except for the main area of Diego's studio that has tons of mexican art crafts, pottery and art tools. Back of the main buildings there's another one built for the wife of the architect that created this wonderful venue, Juan O'Gorman. For taking pictures a MX $35 Permit needs to be bought. It is not a crowded place so it can be enjoyed calmly, the cactus fence gives the facade a unique look. The architecture is delightful. There is not original art of either of both artists except for a Dolores del Rio, famous film mexican actress, oil painting made by Diego. There is no parking lot, souvenir store or coffee shop. Entrance is free on Sundays.

A compound with the connected houses of Diego and Frida, built by the great Juan O'Gorman. Included in the price is the house built by O'Gorman for his father. Modernist and functional architecture. Also, a wonderful collection of folk art and pre-Columbian objects in Riveras studio.

If you're interested in Rivera and Frieda Kahlo, this is worth a visit. Corbusian inspired architecture, a double height studio filled with curiosities and plenty of photos from the 30s. Oh and it's free! 30 pesos for a photo permit

Entry is cheap, but the exhibit focuses almost entirely on Diego when Frida deserves much more attention.
