Hundreds of photographs from the personal collection of Frida Kahlo go on display at the National Museum of Mexican Art this weekend.
On this Frida Friday, we share the recipe for the Oaxacan black mole served at Frida Kahlo’s and Diego Rivera’s wedding reception. We are celebrating favorite traditional Mexican dishes loved by Frida—like this mole negro—in honor of her many exhibitions this year, including the Immersive Frida Kahlo Immersive Frida Kahlo experience traveling through multiple cities across the nation.
And if you happen to live or be in the Chicago area, catch more Frida at the National Museum of Mexican Art. Home to one of the largest Mexican art collection in the United States. In addition to this special mole negro, the wedding guests enjoyed mucho tequila and a traditional wedding feast—made by Diego’s second wife (Frida was No. 3) Lupe Marín and cooks specially hired from the local marketplace.

Congratulations National Museum of Mexican Art and Nancy García Loza on your grant!
As we prepare to welcome the Alebrijes in June, let’s look at how the artists begin their artistic process using sketches (bocetos) and models (maquetas). The Mexican Cultural Center-DuPage in West Chicago, will be featuring these artifacts in a new exhibit, Maquetas y Bocetos, opening on Friday, April 8. We encourage you to stop by Gallery 200 at 103 W Washington Street and get a sneak peek at the creatures!
