8 HOURS - Spend a day with two of the most influential artists in Mexico's history. Visit the places where they worked and the museums where their legendary artwork is displayed.

Description
This full day tour will take you to the Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera Museums which were also places where they spent most of their lives. You'll also see more of their artwork in the Dolores Olmedo Museum. Mexico City is a city as vibrant as this incredible Mexican woman who called it home. Come along with us to visit to Frida Kahlo's blue house, her neighborhood in Coyoacan, and other special cultural places in Mexico City.

We'll begin our tour in the charming 16th century former town of Coyoacan, a southwestern suburb of Mexico City. This is Frida's home-town, where she was born in 1907 and also lived here for her last 13 years in “The Blue House.” Coyoacan remains a delightful place, outside the urban sprawl of Mexico City. It's close to the University city, featuring narrow, colonial-era streets, cafes and a Bohemian atmosphere. Many features make this one of the best walking areas in the world including: Plaza Hidalgo, Coyoacan's central plaza with its lovely gardens, the magnificent Parish Church of Saint John the Baptist and its incredible paintings that draw walkers who enjoy the musicians, crafts markets and mimes who set up here.

The Frida Kahlo Museum (Blue House) includes many personal items of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, and a collection of art from their time combined with works of art owned by famous friends of theirs. The museum also keeps Frida Kahlo's personal collection of Pre-Hispanic art.

We'll also visit the Dolores Olmedo Museum where we'll meet Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo's most important collections on a worldwide level. We'll see interesting engravings of Angelina Beloff who was the sentimental companion of Diego Rivera during his stay in Europe as well as important collections of Pre-Hispanic, popular and colonial art pieces that complete the compilation.

Frida is alive and well in her self portrait paintings. We can think of no better way to understand her life than through the artwork shown here.

Next, we'll visit Diego Rivera's Studio-Museum, a complex which integrates the homes of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. The homes were designed and constructed between 1929 and 1932 by Juan O' Gorman in San Angel, another famous Mexican painter and architect whose work represents the first modern houses ever built in Mexico. The museum exhibits paintings, Pre-Hispanic pieces, popular art, photos, documents, personal objects and different works of both artists, as well as the original house plans from Juan O'Gorman.

In the early evening we'll return you to your hotel.
