Museo Regional De La Revolución Mexicana Casa De Los Hermanos Serdán - 72000 Puebla

It's a great experience. Brings up new perspectives to the Mexican Revolution

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)

Museo recién re-modelado, el cual conmemora a los héroes que comenzaron con el movimiento de la revolución en México This museum was the home of the mexican heroes that gave their lives away so that Mexico could be free, we can even see the holes the bullets left in the facade. This house is also called the birth-place of the mexican revolution.

A part from telling the story of the Mexican Revolution, you get to see the way they lived around the turn of the 20th century

Very interesting and informative! Gives the visitors the feeling of the place and the history of the place. We enjoyed it a lot. Also for English speaking people!

If you get to visit this place, gotta know that the holes on the walls are the bullets that tried to stop the Mexican Revolution back then, still happened tho

It's so beautiful place, I have almost cried reading how traumatizing the raid was on this house. You can even see shooting holes on walls!. You will learn a lot from this place.

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.
