Quinta Gameros Cultural Centre

Amazing !! The degree of craftsmanship. The attention to detail. It is fantastic that this work of art household has been made available to the public. It is surely something to be very proud of and to showcase.

Beautiful gigantic majestic mansion that is a museum and is also used for cultural related events. It holds a huge collection of art noveau and art deco furniture and paintings. You will not be bored.

Amazing place with such a varied history. No entrance fee, and a free tour was included; however, we did give the guide a tip for his excellent tour.

Very old building still showing the opulent way some chihuahua people enjoyed back on those years before the 1910 revolution. French inspired house and furniture. First let me say the ticket fee is $34 pesos and $10 pesos fee permission to take pictures which is a must. Customer asistencia is beyond excellent. Anyone there is friendly and so willing to answer any questions about the house. In the first room there’s art of local artists on display. A nice bedroom , the two way stairs, continuing to the right is the side exit and finally de arts room. Yes : music ! Along the beautiful artistic decoration of the chairs and piano. And on the upper rooms that notable people donate to display permanently there. Quinta Gameros is a great piece of history that anyone can enjoy and learn about our country and our people. Also there’s a QR code on a poster just outside the front of the house so people can do a virtual tour ( this was started at the begging of pandemia). It’s a very enjoyable experience learning ( again for me 🤓) about Chihuahua history and it’s notable people.

Increíble museum. Great architecture .

Used to be a mansion built for Manuel Gameros Ronquillo, a member of the Porfirian elite. Construction started in October 1907 and finished in November 1910, just as the Mexican Revolution was commencing. Gameros and his family fled to the United States in 1913, now an Historic National Monument of Mexico. Quinta Gameros was given to Venustiano Carranza as his personal residence and office in April 1914. Following a dispute with Villa, Carranza left the city and the Quinta Gameros would go on to be used for various purposes during the war, including as government offices and as a military hospital. Quinta Gameros currently houses the Centro Cultural Universitario Quinta Gameros, a regional museum of Mexico. There were group wedding commenced wheh we visited it at the sunny Saturday afternoon, the all-dressed-up newly weds and their guests, decorated the mansion like a fairytale palace.
