Mexican Modernism: Simply Awesome
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/18/07
Totally cool! During a business trip to Hotel Nikko Mexico City, I was lucky enough to visit El Museo Frida Kahlo in Coyoacan, which is about a 30 minute taxi ride from the busy bustling city life.
The museum is a U-shaped blue house with a courtyard full of Meso-American sculptures, skull shrines, and flowers. Giant paper mache puppets greet you at the entrance. Original artworks line the walls inside the Blue House. Large windows adorn the studio space where Frida smoked and painted and lived. Awesome experience.
