The museum occupies two modernist houses and studios designed by Juan O'Gorman in 1931–32, one for Diego Rivera and one for Frida Kahlo, connected by a bridge and representing one of Latin America's first functionalist buildings. Visitors explore the artists' living and working spaces, which contain works by both artists, folk art, furnishings, and innovative architectural interiors alongside gardens featuring indigenous plants. The site displays examples of artistic practice and mid-twentieth-century architectural innovation, including a recovered fresco discovered during 2012 restoration work.
