Art & History Museums

Explore Coyoacán’s cultural heritage through its diverse specialized museums and historic residences. This collection includes the former homes of Frida Kahlo and Leon Trotsky, alongside Diego Rivera’s Anahuacalli Museum, built from volcanic stone to house pre-Hispanic artifacts. Historical sites range from the 17th-century Monastery of San Diego Churubusco, home to the National Interventions Museum, to the circular pyramid at Cuicuilco. Additional highlights include the world’s first watercolor museum and the Fonoteca Nacional, which preserves Mexico’s sonic heritage within a colonial-era estate.
