I highly recommend visiting the Frida Kahlo museum, and if you’re English it’s worth paying the extra pesos to have an audio guide. The house is beautiful with so many original artifacts and paintings, and it’s a great way to get a feel for the colourful character that Frida Kahlo was. It’s a very popular attraction so to avoid VERY long queues, it’s best to book ahead.
2. Museo Casa De Leon Trotsky
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 584 reviews
The house where Leon Trotsky, the exiled Russian leader, lived the final three years of his life in the 1930s.

The Trosky museum/home is not far from the Kahlo museum/home. The stories of these two people and their lifestyles are profoundly connected. Trotsky was a house guest at the Kahlo home and after an assassination attempt moved to his own dwelling. The museum is fascinating in its attempt to preserve Trotsky's life style and his political beliefs. This visual history lesson needs to be experienced.

After going to Casa Azul we walked to this museum and loved it. The art featured is representative of the different cultures of Mexico. There were 3 exhibits open and we loved all of them- each of them highlighted very different artists from banners of Oaxacan towns to modern commentary on the Virgin Guadalupe to intricate hand painted Alebrijes on skulls. In short - if you're in this neighborhood- GO HERE! It's a great look into the different cultures around Mexico today.
