Learn about the life of one of the country's most treasured artists and thinkers at Diego Rivera Museum and Home (Museo Casa Diego Rivera), set within the painter's family home. Born with a twin brother in 1886, Rivera lived in this house for the first six years of his life, before his family relocated to Mexico City. The ground floor has been made to look as it did when the Rivera family lived here, while upper floors contain permanent collections of the artist's work, including preliminary sketches. A collection of photos of Rivera with his wife, painter Frida Kahlo, offer a particularly candid exploration of the life of the artist.

  After visiting Casa Azul in Mexico City, we were curious to visit Diego Rivera’s childhood home. Although the house was interesting to visit, unlike Casa Azul, I would not return.  more »

  A great little museum in which you can see the many different artistic styles of Diego Rivera. entrance fee was only 25 pesos and while we were there, a gentleman came by offering a tour in Spanish and English, on a donation basis. This is definitely museum in which you will get your money's worth. Good for at least an hour of walking around. There's also an auditorium upstairs which features a large 3 section miracle of Rivera's with detailed explanations of the many figures which appear in the works.

  Largest collection of Diego Rivera art plus rooms full of furniture from his period. Everything is tastefully displayed. Well laid out. I wish there were more captions in English. But, the ones they have are very informative and easy to understand. You will get an impressive overview of his life and work. I loved it.
