Box of delight

Fans of Mexican painter and prolific self-portraitist Frida Kahlo have one destination above all others: the Blue House, her 1904 home, easily identifiable by color, at the corner of  Londres and Allende in Mexico City's Coyoacán borough. I myself dropped in a couple years back, impressed at the attention to detail in converting the building and its courtyard into the Frida Kahlo Museum.

In 1940, Frida Kahlo painted a self portrait for her lover, the photographer Nickolas Muray.
