Anahuacalli Museum in a nutshell
Step inside Diego Rivera’s dream: a temple-like museum built with volcanic stone, meant to honor Mexico’s Indigenous legacy. You’ll find rooms filled with Aztec, Olmec, Maya, and Zapotec artifacts curated by Rivera himself, each piece selected to echo Mexico’s ancient spirit. The pyramid structure, jaguar mosaics, and open-air terrace show how Rivera fused architecture and identity into one unforgettable experience.
Things to know before booking your Anahuacalli Museum tickets
Anahuacalli Museum Skip-the-Line tickets almost always come bundled with Frida Kahlo Museum entry, since the two were envisioned as a cultural pair. The most basic option is the skip-the-line ticket that covers Casa Azul and Anahuacalli. You’ll get timed entry to Frida’s Blue House plus open access to Rivera’s volcanic-stone museum. This is perfect if you want to explore both at your own pace without a guide. Kids under 6 enter free, and there are discounted rates for juniors and students.
If you’re after more context, choose the guided tour with Anahuacalli access. A certified guide will lead you through Coyoacán before you enter Casa Azul, sharing stories of Frida’s art, struggles, and legacy. Afterward, you’ll visit Anahuacalli, where Rivera’s 50,000 pre-Hispanic artifacts are arranged like a ceremonial temple. Entry is still self-paced inside the museums, but you’ll walk in with all the background you need.
The full-day tour with Coyoacán and Xochimilco is the most popular choice for travelers with a day to spare. It combines Casa Azul, Anahuacalli, a guided walk through Coyoacán’s cobblestone streets, and a colorful trajinera boat ride in Xochimilco with mariachi and snacks included. Transport is covered, so you won’t need to worry about navigating Mexico City traffic.
For those who prefer comfort and exclusivity, there areprivate tours with hotel pickup. These tickets include round-trip transfers in a private vehicle, Casa Azul entry, and Anahuacalli access, along with extra stops like the UNAM murals or artisan markets. Some even include lunch at a traditional churrería. These are ideal if you’re traveling as a family, couple, or group and want everything handled for you.
No matter which option you choose, remember that standard Frida Kahlo Museum tickets alone don’t include Anahuacalli. If you want to see Diego Rivera’s volcanic temple alongside Frida’s Blue House, you’ll need to book one of the combo or guided tour tickets that list both museums explicitly.
