Frida Kahlo




Before we left Philadelphia yesterday we went to see the Frida Kahlo exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It was amazing, they had her most famous paintings on display and we enjoyed it a lot. Carlos and Titi were the only children there but they had seen the pictures before so they knew what to expect. Some of them are very strange and gory. The museum gave each person an audio cassette tour so we were able to hear details about the paintings.

The exhibit was very crowded and the tickets had specific hours to visit it. After the tour they had an amazing store with lots of Frida merchandise and Mexican crafts. I wanted to buy everything but it was very crowded and we needed to leave for the airport so we each got one thing and we left. Carlos and Titi got some cards with Frida's paintings to color and Don and I got t-shirts.
