MEXICO CITY (AP) -- With her unibrow, braided updo, colorful clothing and mustache, the late Mexican artist Frida Kahlo has become an idiosyncratic cult figure in the United States.

Kahlo has an equally passionate following in her native Mexico City. Her face is plastered on everything from handbags and jewelry to wall hangings and aprons. Her husband, the late muralist Diego Rivera, was better known during their lifetimes, but she's eclipsed him in fame since their deaths in the 1950s.

Fans can find their work all over Mexico City. Stops include the Frida Kahlo Museum, also known as Casa Azul or the Blue House; the Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo House and Studio Museum; Dolores Olmedo Museum; Diego Rivera Museo Anahuacalli (ah-nah-wah-CAH-lee); Diego Rivera Mural Museum; Fine Arts Palace and the National Palace.
