Museo Casa de Carranza
About This Museum
People don't just come to the Museo Casa de Carranza for a history lesson; they come to walk the same creaky floorboards as a revolutionary president. Tucked away on a quiet street in Cuatro Ciénegas, this isn't a sterile museum but the actual, beautifully preserved home where Venustiano Carranza lived. You'll find his personal belongings—furniture, documents, even his distinctive spectacles—laid out as if he'd just stepped away. The overall effect is surprisingly intimate, transforming a monumental figure from your textbook into a tangible, relatable person.
Collection Highlights
The real highlights are Carranza's personal effects: his bed, his formalwear, and the very desk where he drafted crucial documents. Don't miss his iconic round eyeglasses, which sit waiting on a table, making his presence feel almost palpable.
