Museo Casa Kahlo
Museo Casa Kahlo, an initiative of the Kahlo family and the Fundación, opened in September 2025 in Coyoacán, Mexico City. It was Frida’s family home, passed down through generations, and donated by her grandniece, Mara Romeo Kahlo. The museo focuses on Frida’s origins and family life, with personal artifacts and works of art that give an intimate look into her life.
Since opening, the museum has already increased cultural tourism in Mexico City, generated tens of millions of dollars in media value, and reached 1.48 billion people worldwide. The museum serves as a cultural and economic hub, strengthening Mexico’s global cultural identity, and was recently named as one of Time Out’s 26 Best New Things to Do in the World and a member of J.P. Morgan’s NextList for 2026.

The Kahlo Art Prize
The Kahlo Art Prize is a biennial award sponsored by Fundación Kahlo for Mexican Art and Culture. It is inspired by Frida—her artistic integrity, values, tenacity, and individuality. Frida was a great mentor and teacher, encouraging her students to seek inspiration beyond their surroundings while creating art rooted in their emotional core. The award follows Frida's example in supporting and promoting emerging artists, seeking to continue her legacy in elevating the talent of today. Additionally, this award celebrates Mexican arts and highlights this vibrant global culture.
This prize celebrates emerging talent and provides essential recognition and validation in the art world. The selected artist receives financial support and the freedom to develop their artistic practice and explore new creative directions. Beyond the cash award, the prize includes a major exhibition opportunity, continued artistic mentorship, and international exposure for its recipients. The program highlights and promotes the work of Mexican contemporary visual artists early in their careers, whose perspectives resonate globally.
An international panel of art world luminaries will judge this prestigious award, in partnership with the Foundation board and the family.
La Ayuda
Cristina, Frida Kahlo’s sister and the only member of her immediate family to have children, was a longtime advocate for single mothers and needy children within their community. In a time and cultural environment inhospitable to their needs, Cristina and the Kahlo family created “La Ayuda” – a mutual aid society providing diapers, food, and other supplies to those to whom traditional charitable organizations had turned their backs.
In celebration of the family’s legacy of giving, Fundación Kahlo is reviving La Ayuda on an international scale. Details on the specific programs included in the effort, including local material support and global initiatives, will be announced later this year.
