Claro que si! De solo saber que alli vivio, se inspiro y creo Frida, es algo que te llena de gusto y admiracion- aparte que cuando vas por las habitaciones, se "siente" su presencia, no se como explicartelo, pero es algo muy bonito!

I thought so too, it was nice to see where she lived and imagine how it might have affected her work.

I was there about five years ago and I swear I could feel her presence. It's an intoxicating house.

I felt that too, I love her work and seeing her home made me understand a lot more of her and what she tried to express. You travel a lot, I like that!

Thats different putting all 3 primary colours together (ok there's green too). You'd never see that here, though I guess it's the mexican style, interesting.

No, you dont see things like this in europe. We Mexicans have a very passionate relationship with color. Fridas house is very Mexican in design, content and structure, many homes in Mexico have colors like these, specially in coastal cities.
