excellent place to learn about the Mexican revolution and the events that happened in Juarez Mexico and El Paso TX during those times in history

The museum was closed today.. Shows to be open on weekends. Traveled about 30 minutes to see it only to find it locked.

Excellent museum, the items on display were fantastic and very interesting. Great artifacts about the Revolution, Pancho Villa, etc.
Highly reccomend.

Wonderful for history buffs! Very informative history and (mostly bilingual) exhibits of the role the border region played in the Mexican Revolution. Friendly staff and great to visit on a weekend from El Paso while strolling around the downtown promenade. Heads up, the entrance is in the rear.

A complete collection of Pancho Villa's revolution journey.

The period 1913–1914 was the time of Villa's greatest international fame and military and political success.

Villa's string of victories since the beginning of the Mexican Revolution was instrumental in bringing the downfall of Porfirio Díaz, the victory of Francisco Madero, and the ouster of Victoriano Huerta.

He remains a heroic figure for many Mexicans.

He's more than just a politician, but a business owner, also a guy who knows how to "boardcast" himself like nowadays internet sensations.

Great place to come learn the history of the border between El Paso USA and Juárez México. So much to see and learn. Awesome artifacts. Educational videos in the various rooms and lectures available every few hours. Entrance is free, they accept donations if you are so inclined. They entrance to the museum is around the back, they have a metal detector at the entrance. Nice clean bathrooms.

Museum is full of antiquities and information. The building itself is historical, which makes the visit that more memorable.

There aren't many historic buildings, let alone museums, in Ciudad Juárez but this is certainly the place that I would consider the most important in the borderland. History was written here many times, and it's definitely one of the places that I feel every tourist should visit.

It has hundreds of pictures, some audio and visuals. The museum is completely accessible and with air conditioning. The museum highlights many pieces of the revolution against Porfirio Dias from the infancy of to the fractures of power later on. In addition, it uncovers the important role Mexicans working in the United States played in uplifting these efforts. You could just look at the pictures but I highly encourage to either get the audio tour or go with time to read the descriptions. I was reading in Spanish, don't know if the translations were good, but I imagine they must be.
