Museo Salas Carranza
About This Museum
Stepping into the Palacio de Gobierno, you immediately feel the weight of Coahuila's history. This isn't a sterile museum; it feels more like walking through the grand, echoing halls of power from a bygone era. The story of Venustiano Carranza and the Mexican Revolution is told through personal artifacts, from his distinctive glasses to old political documents that feel incredibly intimate. You can almost picture the crucial meetings and debates that shaped a nation happening right in these rooms. It’s a surprisingly powerful and immersive experience.
Collection Highlights
The exhibits really focus on Carranza's life with personal items like his signature spectacles and presidential decrees. I was especially struck by the historical photographs and weapons from the Revolution period, which made that turbulent time feel very real.
