Mexico City hosts largest ever Frida Kahlo exhibit
The Mexican capital will host the largest ever exhibition of Frida Kahlo's works this week to mark 100 years since the birth of the artist, who has become a feminist icon in the past decade as her fame blooms.
More than 300,000 people are expected to attend the two-month show starting on Wednesday at the Museo de Bellas Artes museum.
"I don't think anyone, after seeing this, will have any questions about Frida's artistic journey," said Teresa Franco, head of the institute that runs the museum.
About 350 pieces will go on display, including some on loan from collections in the United States, as well as 50 of Kahlo's personal letters and 100 photographs.
Amazing artist. The 2002 movie on her life
Frida is worth renting.
