**Can you visit Casa Azul and the Leon Trotsky Museum in one morning?**
Yes — the Leon Trotsky Museum (where Trotsky was assassinated in 1940) is a 10-minute walk from Casa Azul in the same Coyoacán neighborhood. Trotsky's house requires fewer advance reservations. Allow 90 minutes for Casa Azul and 45 minutes for Trotsky — together they form one of Mexico City's most compelling historical mornings.

**Are Frida Kahlo's original paintings always on display at Casa Azul?**
No — due to light sensitivity, only a selection of Kahlo's paintings is displayed at any time, and works rotate between Casa Azul and the Museo de Arte Moderno. The house itself — her bedroom, studio, kitchen, and garden — is the permanent draw. Check the museum website for current paintings on view.

**What is the difference between Casa Azul and the Anahuacalli Museum?**
Casa Azul in Coyoacán was Frida and Diego's home, focused on Frida's life and art. Anahuacalli — designed by Rivera as a volcanic-stone pyramid in San Ángel — houses Rivera's vast pre-Columbian collection. Rivera intended both to be visited together; a combined ticket is available. Anahuacalli is less crowded and architecturally extraordinary.
