Artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo lived and worked from 1934 to 1940 in this San Ángel compound, which preserves Rivera’s studio as if he just left, brushes and paint ready to be used. The buildings are a masterpiece of Modernist architecture, designed by their friend, Juan O'Gorman. The two houses Diego and Frida inhabited say something about their stormy relationship: the houses are bridged, but separate. Imagine poor, sick Frida, climbing all those stairs just to see her husband!
