History


Leonora Carrington lived in the house for more than 60 years, since 1948 until her death in 2011. It is a three-story mansion found in Chihuahua Street in colonia Roma Norte, Mexico City. There, she created most of her works and also raised her children with her husband Imre Weisz Schwarz, a Hungarian photographer.[3]

In 2017, the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM) acquired the house and the following year the house was repaired to be able to receive tourists and display more than 8,000 of the artist's objects. Ten years after Carrington's death, in 2021, the studio house was converted into a museum. It is expected to open to the public in 2022.[4]
