Beautiful! The garden is splendid with peacocks everywhere. The art collection is good but depends on your taste in the matter. There's even a little coffee shop closed to the house. Not that cheap for foreigners and being able to take photos inside cost an extra. But overall a good value.

This is one of my favorites museums to visit in south Mexico city, it has the biggest art collection in the world of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera's work in the world including Frida Self Portraits!! Theres is a whole room dedicated to sunrise and sunse paintings by Diefo Rivera.Dolores Olmedo was sponsor and close friend of the couple. Among the permanent exhibition there are also Mexican classic furniture and pottery ( talavera), the colonial style building is quite a place to admire. An unexpected and amazing surprise you might find, the many free peacocks that wander the gardens and jump around from ground to ceilings. There are also live xolo dogs in closed gardens. There are galleries for temporary exhibitions, the Dia de muertos offering art is very famous in November. The museum shop is very big and has a great variety of items including many Frida Kahlo themed stuff. Bathrooms are clean and spacious. It is close to Xochimilco canals, you could plan a visit with both locations in one day. Did not visit the restaurant, but was crowded and smelled delicious like mole sauce.

A beautiful place, a real treasure. Grounds are very relaxing. Cafe is also good. Highly recommended u0026 you can also deepen your understanding of Mexican art and the people who made u0026 shaped it.

The property is very beautiful and spacious with lots of peacocks. For any one that is a lover of Frida or Diego artwork, this is a must. A great stop on your way to or from Xochomilco.

The museum is incredible. It is situated in a beautiful park inhabited by peacocks and other animals. The house is wonderful. Really well kept. They have a huge collection of Diego Rivera. Unfortunately i also went to see the Frida Khalo paintings but they had none on exhibit. If you want to see all the collection make sure to give a call to the museum asking questions as it is situated a little far from the centre of the city.

I was there around día de los muertos and they had a few rooms prepared. The Mexicans loved it. On Tuesdays the entrance is for free.
The Diego Rivera collection is awesome. From Frida Kahlo it is mainly photos and only one painting that she did several times in different ways . But the villa is marvellous.
