### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing and very thorough
*by J***E on 3 September 2018*

This is the guide to the current exhibition at the V&A which I cannot recommend visiting enough - I loved it because it revealed so much more about Kahlo's life, her process and her art. I came away even in more in awe of her than ever before. The guide is a superb accompaniment to the show with pictures and commentary to all the artefacts. Brilliant.
