Frida is the best

For the Frida Kahlo museum we had an audio tour which was really great as it gave a lot of great stories about her life and experiences outside of just the art and decorations of her home. She had a very hard life and was bedridden a lot so she had special easels to paint from in bed. We saw the way her home and clothes were designed to allow her to live her fullest life despite everything she went through like polio and getting hit by a bus. I thought this was one of the best places I have visited. It was so beautiful and touching with so much personality and deep stories. The bed she died in was there and so were her ashes. She did a lot of self reflection about her body and its illnesses and disabilities and you could feel her powerful energy in the place still. My favorite painting was one she finished just days before she died and that she named Viva La Vida which means long live life!Read more
