Frida Kahlo's Garden

Inside the village of Coyoacán, Mexico City there is a garden. In that garden creativity, inspiration, and peace flowed through its tender, the great twentieth century artist Frida Kahlo. 

A new exhibition at the West Baton Rouge Museum, called Frida Kahlo's Garden, transports visitors to this place, which served as Kahlo's refuge for many years and housed her collection of pre-Hispanic artifacts and folk art. This show offers insights into the ways in which the garden, the diversity of plant life in Mexico, and the rich cultural history of the country nourished the creativity of one of the world's greatest artists. 

Visitors will explore iconic photographs of the artist and her home and garden, in addition to reproductions of several of her paintings and information regarding native Mexican plants from her garden. 

The exhibition will be on display from April 4–May 24. westbatonrougemuseum.com.
