A short drive away, you’ll arrive at the Anahuacalli Museum, an architectural marvel designed by Rivera himself. This pyramid-shaped museum is home to Rivera's vast collection of pre-Hispanic art and artifacts, which heavily influenced his work.
Finally, the tour culminates at the famous Frida Kahlo Museum, also known as La Casa Azul (The Blue House), located in the picturesque neighborhood of Coyoacán. This was Kahlo's childhood home, and later, the residence she shared with Rivera.
