Frida Kahlo's Collection of Photographs in Budapest

Frida Kahlo's Photographic Collection, on display in the Hungarian capital for the first time, offers a glimpse into the hidden moments of the Mexican artist's life with a new perspective on the passionate and tormented life of one of the most emblematic figures of Latin American art.

After her death, Frida's personal collection was moved to a locked bathroom in her Mexican city home, known as the Blue House. The Blue House has become one of the most visited exhibition spaces in the world as a museum dedicated to Frida, but some of her personal items, including a collection of more than 6,000 photographs, have remained hidden from public view for almost 50 years.

Since its debut in Mexico City in 2009, the exhibition has travelled the world, with nearly one million visitors in twenty cities. In Budapest, it will be on show for the first time at the Mai Manó House from October 18, 2024 to January 12, 2025.
