Viva la Vida: Exploring Frida Kahlo’s Mexico City

Jan 10–16, 2026

On this special VMFA-curated journey, travel to Mexico City with Dr. Sarah G. Powers, Exhibition Curator of Frida: Beyond the Myth and Curatorial Research Specialist in American Art. To understand Frida Kahlo, you must go to Mexico City—her home, her inspirations, her politics, her relationship with Diego Rivera are all there, embedded in the city’s streets. Visit Casa Azul, the house where Frida was born, painted, and never completely left; the Museo Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo, where Frida and Diego lived and worked in twin houses; the Palacio de Bellas Artes, to see Rivera’s Man at the Crossroads, originally commissioned for Rockefeller Center. Also included will be visits to the Museo de Antropologia, the Chapultepec Castle, and the ancient site of Teotihuacan, once the largest and most powerful city in North America. Visit the Zocalo, Mexico City’s central plaza with a mix of pre-Columbian ruins and colonial architecture; and take a private tour focused on Mexico City’s Jewish heritage, and how the community took root in Mexico City during the Spanish Inquisition. All this and much more!  Enjoy six nights at the luxurious Four Seasons Mexico City.

6 days for $11,999 per person, double rate; $13,999 single rate; plus air
