The family of Frida Kahlo (Mara Romeo Kahlo, Mara De Anda Romeo, and Frida Hentschel) announced the forthcoming opening of Museo Casa Kahlo, a major new museum dedicated to the life, legacy, and personal family treasures of Frida Kahlo, set to open to the general public Saturday, September 27^th, on the family’s historic property in Coyoacán, Mexico City. The museum will be located within Casa Roja, a previously private residence acquired by Frida’s parents and gifted by Mara Romeo. Casa Roja is adjacent to another family home, the famed Casa Azul, and will mark the most significant expansion of the Kahlo family’s cultural footprint in decades. Museo Casa Kahlo will offer a deeply personal and richly contextual experience—inviting visitors to trace Frida’s formative years and artistic awakening, and the side of her shared only with her family. Casa Roja explores the intimate relationships that supported her journey to becoming one of the most recognizable and revered cultural figures of the 20th century and an eternally relevant role model. In addition to its core exhibitions, the museum will featurerotating shows of contemporary work, with a focus on Mexican, Latin American, and women+ artists, amplifying voices that reflect and expand on Kahlo’s own fearless vision. More details about the museum’s inaugural programming and the Foundation’s initiatives will be announced in the coming months. http://www.kahlofoundation.org
