About the Frida Kahlo Museum
Inside the Frida Kahlo Museum, also known as the Blue House, the artist’s personal belongings are exhibited, as well as memories of the life that she lived there with Diego Rivera. Original paintings by Kahlo, Rivera and their friends; a collection of Mexican folk art, handicrafts, pre-Columbian pieces and Mexican regional textiles; as well as photographs, documents, books and furniture are all showcased. The beautiful garden is an essential part of the Blue House, and crossing it leads to the internationally acclaimed exhibition of Frida Kahlo's dresses.

Few things are more English than afternoon tea, and Frieze week is as good a time as any to book one. It has been part of English life since the 1840s, when the Duchess of Bedford started asking for tea and bread and butter to fill the long gap between lunch and dinner. It moved from a private habit to a social occasion to a national one, and nearly two centuries on it is booked more than ever…
