This intimate stairwell gallery at Casa Azul features a curated selection of 19th c. portraiture collected by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. The somber tones and formal attire evoke Mexico’s colonial and early republican eras. The preserved sea turtle on the chest hints at Frida’s fascination with animals, mortality, and Mexican natural heritage.
