Casa Museo Hermanas Mirabal
About This Museum
It's a startling thought that this serene, sun-drenched house was the command center for a revolution. Walking through the Mirabal sisters' family home feels less like visiting a museum and more like stepping into a paused moment in time. The air itself seems to hold their whispered plans and shared laughter. You'll find their personal belongings—dresses, books, and jewelry—laid out as if they've just stepped away, making their tragic story feel immediate and deeply personal.
Collection Highlights
The collection is anchored by the sisters' everyday artifacts: Minerva's paint set, a poignant letter from prison, and the simple, elegant dresses that contrast sharply with their immense courage. Perhaps most moving is Patria's diary, open to a page filled with hopes for her children and her country.
Visitor Information
Located in Tenares, it's a journey worth taking for anyone wanting to understand the soul of the Dominican Republic. Just be prepared for a powerful, emotional experience; this isn't a typical museum visit.
Architecture & Building
The building is a beautifully preserved mid-20th century Caribbean home, painted a cheerful butter-yellow with white trim and green shutters. It’s unassuming and domestic, its ordinary charm belying the extraordinary history forged within its walls.
