From Friday 19 December 2025 to Saturday 31 January 2026, the Museum will be alive with hands-on workshops, playful activities, and cultural discoveries that promise to make these school holidays unforgettable.
Children can bring Frida Kahlo’s spirit to life in Frida’s Reflection, a mixed-media art workshop that encourages self-expression through bold colours and textures.
For those with a taste for adventure, the Mexican Cooking Workshop: Cocinar la Comida! invites families to roll up their sleeves and create authentic flavours; think cheesy quesadillas, zesty guacamole, and sweet piñata cupcakes for a true fiesta on your plate.
With every activity, families will discover the heart of Mexican culture, its warmth, creativity, and celebration of life.
