Introduction

Museo Casa Chihuahua occupies a former federal palace in the historic centre of the city of Chihuahua — a building begun in the Porfiriato that later served as prison, barracks and government offices. Today it shows state history, independence and revolutionary artefacts, and keeps part of the old prison structure; thick walls, vaults and iron bars let visitors feel the layered past of a building that changed hands repeatedly.
