About This Museum

People come to the Olmedo House not just to check a box on a tourist itinerary, but to feel the weight of history in a place that truly breathes it. You wander through rooms that feel frozen in time, with dark, polished wood and creaking floorboards telling stories you won't find in any textbook. It’s an intimate experience, more like exploring a wealthy relative's grand, slightly faded home than a sterile museum. I left feeling like I had uncovered a secret piece of Babahoyo's soul.

Collection Highlights

The personal artifacts of the Olmedo family are what stick with you—think elegant, handwritten letters and ornate furniture that make their legacy feel incredibly real and personal.

Visitor Information

It's easy to find in Babahoyo (just plug that plus code into your maps!) and the 4.6-star rating is well-deserved; plan for a quiet, reflective hour or so.

Architecture & Building

The building itself is a classic example of traditional Ecuadorian coastal architecture, with its airy layout designed to catch the breeze and a charming, slightly weathered facade.
