    I'm lacking context, so it would have been great to start me off with something more than : and here is his office. Similarly, love the fact that they have the text in English for most things, but I'm not always entirely clear on who is supporting whom where or say, how zapata fits into the story. Other than that it's a really cool museum, using multiple media, and the home itself is worth a visit.

    The house where the Mexican revolution broke out. The house was the home of the Serdan brothers - I feel the house and its decoration may have changed a lot since the Serdan's lived there - it is more like a monument than a time capsule from 1910. If you are not Mexican, you may not have heard of los hermanos Serdan - but they played an important role and are famous in Puebla. Apart from this museum there is also a tall column and statues of the brothers erected just north of La Paz - on 'Boulevard Hermanos Serdan'. 40 pesos to enter the museum.

  • 3/5 Matthew R. 5 years ago on Google
    It’s a well-preserved house that doesn’t do a good job explaining history. I’m aware Mexican history is complex, but this museum requires more translators and academic involvement. From what I understand, there was a backlash against Porfirio Diaz’s re-election, led by independent Francisco Madero as stated in the San Luis Plan/Manifesto. The reason for the backlash was because Diaz either stole the 1910 presidential election or reneged on an informal agreement not to seek re-election, leading Madero to foment armed rebellion. Part of this rebellion took place in this house through the Serdán family, which hid weapons for the anti-re-electionists. The rebellion succeeded in the short term because in 1911, Diaz resigned, leaving Francisco de la Barra as the interim president until Madero formally and successfully sought the presidency that same year. By now, Madero loyalists controlled 1/3 of Mexico. They say governing in peace can be harder than fighting a war, and this appears to be the case here. Shortly thereafter, internal squabbles led to political splintering, putting the more radical Madero against more local moderates. The moderates succeeded on the local level, elevating Rafael Cañete Escobar as Puebla’s governor. As the moderates gained power in the national Senate, they asked for Madero’s resignation, which he refused. He and VP Jose Maria Pino Suarez were executed by the military, specifically General Victoriano Huerta in 1913. (1910-1913) After his military coup, General Huerta proved no better at political collaboration and provoked a Constitutionalist movement and rebellion led by Venustiano Carranza and his allies Alvaro Obregon (from Sonora) and Francisco “Pancho” Villa. In 1914, General Huerta was ousted. From 1914 to 1917, Carranza led several attempts to approve a constitution from Mexico City while working to stabilize local state governments in Veracruz and other states. Meanwhile, Obregon defeated Francisco “Pancho” Villa, leaving Carranza without meaningful rivals. A Constitution, called The Political Constitution of the Mexican United States, finally passed in 1917, but it’s unclear whether it allowed successive presidential terms. Once again, internal fighting surfaced, with Alvaro Obregon, a former ally of the government, battling with President Venustiano Carranza. (1913-1917) In 1920, Obregon killed Carranza, becoming president of Mexico. In 1928, Obregon himself is assassinated by José de León Toral, who opposed the government's anti-religious laws. I cannot tell you whether the above is 100% correct but the exhibits are extremely confusing, and this is the best I could do. (February 2019)

    Describing a crucial moment of the Mexican revolution of 1910 from the perspective of an involved family. It also gives a window into their ordinary life and the home design in this era. If thoroughly explored, it takes about 1,5h.

  • 2/5 Angel G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) This museum has lost its originality after the modifications that the rooms have undergone, likewise it lacks a clear objective since they begin by exposing the (simulated) rooms of the house, while the information on the historical characters is presented several rooms after start and it is really lax. If you do not have prior knowledge of the historical figures, it may seem confusing and difficult to weave their history and importance. (Original) Este museo ha perdido su originalidad después de las modificaciones que han sufrido las salas, así mismo carece de un objetivo claro ya que comienzan exponiendo las habitaciones (simuladas) de la casa, mientras que la información sobre los personajes históricos se presenta varias salas después de comenzar y la misma es realmente laxa. Si no cuentas con conocimiento previo de los personajes históricos, te puede parecer confuso y difícil de hilar su historia e importancia.

    (Translated by Google) From the bullet-hole-riddled façade to the poignant narration from the manager, this museum is simply something you shouldn't miss if you're into Mexican history. The top is closed, which makes the tour very fast, I hope they open it soon. The cost is $ 40 pesos, children, students, teachers and seniors have a discount. (Original) Desde la fachada llena de agujeros de bala hasta la conmovedora narración del encargado, este museo es simplemente algo que no te deberías de perder si te gusta la historia de México.
