Frida Kahlo’s Mexican Garden: A Retrospective

14 rare, original Frida Kahlo works will be displayed amongst an array of plants that are symbolically significant to Mexico– including succulents, cacti, passion fruit, and more.

Frida Kahlo: Garden will explore Kahlo’s art and the native Mexican plants from which she drew inspiration.
