Girls trip to Houston: Louvre Couture and Frida Kahlo at MFAH

2026

Elena and I had a week off earlier this year and I had been wanting to catch the Louvre Couture Collection from Houston Fine Arts Museum in Houston. I knew the boys wouldn't appreciate the day trip, so they stayed home instead :) 
The exhibit includes gowns through the ages made by famous fashion designers and the museum did a fantastic job matching the vibe of the clothing and shoe to various exhibit rooms and buildings.

The Frida Kahlo exhibit was also being displayed. It was f'n weird. They had collaborators' work also be displayed and it was a clown show so I will not be including any of those garbage pieces. 
I would like to note that they were pro rainbow people and the exhibit was 17+ for obvious degenerate reasons. My explanation to Elena as to why those pieces of artwork were being exhibited is because modern art is an absolute disgrace but everyone is forced to endure it, and in some cases, praise it. 
Frida was edgy in 1930's and 40's. In the 2020's there is no such thing as edgy art--just degenerate. 

I did include her original paintings that I enjoyed, though. I hope you enjoy them too (click on pics to make them bigger).

Onto the good art:
