After artist Frida Kahlo’s passing in 1954, her husband, painter Diego Rivera, blocked off two bathrooms in their home, La Casa Azul, on the condition that they not be opened until 15 years after his death.
But it took more than 50 years for the rooms to be revealed. And in 2005, La Casa Azul, now part of Museo Frida Kahlo, invited fellow legendary Mexican artist Graciela Iturbide to photograph the space and the belongings inside
The rooms contain roughly 300 of Kahlo’s belongings that invite an intimate look at the artist’s personal life. Tap the link in bio to view Iturbide’s photographs of what Kahlo left in her bathroom.
