In Mexico City there is a building with sky-blue walls. It is a museum now, but it was once the home of Mexico\’s greatest painter: Frida Kahlo. It is an extraordinary house, one which seems to lead you through its rooms and amongst its objects as if it were a living creature. It will tell you about Frida, about the troubled life of this artist full of passions, who said of herself: \’I was born with a revolution. The day was scorching. It has inflamed me for the rest of my life. As a child, I crackled. As an adult, I was a flame\’.
