Twentieth-century Mexican artist Frida Kahlo continues to fascinate us with her aresting gaze, signature fashion and trailblazing legacy. At the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, VA, this singular artist and her extraordinary works are the focus of a new exhibit Frida: Beyond the Myth.

More than 60 works of art in a variety of media, many rarely seen outside of Mexico, include self-portraits, still lifes and compositions from her imagination. A book about Kahlo is included in the price of the trip and will be discussed on the bus. Price of trip includes Motorcoach transportation, exhibit ticket and guided tour.
