Beautiful and interesting pieces of art work
Solo
I truly enjoyed visiting this place, especially looking at the different art works of Frida y Diego. To get in, you need to already purchase your ticket, then they allow a few people at a time to be in the house. You can see this place in less than an hour.

Wonderful modern structure from 1930s
Couples
Although these two adjoining studios of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo do not contain any significant examples of their art, the buildings are fascinating examples of very contemporary architecture that still look beautiful today.
Both studios are located on the 2nd floor of each structure and are linked by a bridge.
The architect’s home, located next door, was the inspiration for Rivera and Kahlo’s buildings.
Diego’s studio is filled with fascinating artifacts that he collected.
If you are a fan of their art, and are visiting the Casa Azul south of Mexico City, you can easily add the site to your itinerary.

Definitely worth the visit
Very little tourism and traffic, but well worth the visit. Diego's home is filled with surprising pieces of art and an insight into how he created. He also has a beautiful photo of Frida on the loft floor (before entering the room that bridges the two houses). In Frida's home, there is really nothing except for mesoamerica relics from Diego's collection. The hundreds-/thousands-years old statues and relics are really fascinating and beautiful.

Definitely walk the bridge that connects the two homes. It was quite amusing to think that they used this walkway to visit each other.

Museum workers need better instructions
Couples
Súper disappointed! We get here and we have all the explanations sanitation gel in your hand a lot protocol but when we paid the ticket USA $2 nobody told us that in a few minutes the house is going to close. Mi boyfriend used the bathroom and when he try to get inside the first house (Riveras) he couldn’t because the staff stated cleaning so we came to here for nothing. This museum workers need to be better instructed about how to explain the times of the museum to the visitors Instead to much intrusion on cov protocol

Historic, visit if you like modern architecture
Solo
Interesting place where Frida lived with her husband, at that time leeway famous artist. Build I. 1931, incredibly modern house. Very laconic, functional, simple, convenient, lots of light. Worth a visit if you like modern architecture. A tip- San Angel Inn next door - is a fantastic restaurant for a launch or dinner, house in a traditional Mexican mansion.

great place to start your Diego and Frida exploration
We didn't know a lot of about Diego Rivera or Frida Kahlo when we started the day - and we didn't know about their relationship either. So this was a great place to begin. You really get an idea of where he was coming from artistically as well as his esthetic. Go from here to the Blue House, then check out some of his murals spotted around the city, and you'll be all set.

Building by Juan O'Gorman spectalur; contents so-so
Last place both Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo lived in adjoining studios.. Not much content except a few pieces. But the building designed by modernist Juan O'Gorman in 1931 is way ahead of the times.

Interesting
Solo
Interesting place to visit (March 2021), but I wish they had a more ellaborate exhibition. I also missed a gift shop, even if small, as we usually can find further information at museum stores (books, for instance). I wouldn't say this is a priority, but it's one of the places open right now.

Lovely neighborhood and venue
Solo
It was great fun visiting the studio and residence of Diego Rivera and the adjacent blue house of Frida Kahlo. The fence is made of cacti. Its on a Hill in the ritzy Altavista neighbourhood. The house is in Concrete and was influenced by Le Corbusier Mindset. The French modern architect believed in vertical spaces and a lovely roof terrace where the two houses, adjacent, link up. The studio is 20 foot high with a loft mezzanine level at one end.

Amazing, why are there no lines here?
Family
Must see for architects etc. No lines. 30 pesos each to get in. Frida's house was under reconstruction but Diego's house and Juan Gorman's house are both open. Allot 1+ hours at this location.
