Leonora Carrington House Museum

Leonora Carrington House Museum, House museum in Roma Norte district, Mexico City, Mexico.

The Leonora Carrington House Museum is a three-story mansion in Roma Norte that holds more than 8,000 objects from the British surrealist painter's life and work. The rooms contain her paintings, sculptures, furniture, and personal belongings that show how she lived and created.

The residence served as Carrington's home for over 60 years before being purchased by the Metropolitan Autonomous University after her death to preserve her artistic legacy. The university transformed it into a research and documentation center focused on her life and contributions to surrealism.

The home reflects how the British surrealist integrated her living spaces with artistic practice, using rooms as extensions of creative thought. You can see how daily life and artistic work were deeply intertwined in her world.

The house stands at Chihuahua Street 194 in colonia Roma Norte, Cuauhtémoc borough, Mexico City. It is not open to visitors: the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, which bought it in 2017, announced in October 2024 that it would become a documentation centre for teaching and research rather than a museum. Do not confuse it with the Leonora Carrington museums in San Luis Potosí and Xilitla.

The house was bought in 2017 with more than 8,600 objects from Carrington's son, on condition it become a museum. In October 2024 the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana announced it would instead be a documentation centre for teaching and research, so the house stays closed.
