Queretaro Museum recreates historical events

 

One of Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez?s combs, Maximilian of Hapsburg?s coffin, the table where the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed and the original forum where the Constituent Congress debated and met for the enactment of the 1917 Constitution are just a few pieces found at the Regional Museum of Queretaro.

 

These 86 items, distributed in just over 600 square meters, divided into two sections, which emphasize the participation of Queretaro throughout the history of the country.

 

These pieces, all original, part of the new hall of the Regional Museum of Queretaro, which is called, precisely, Queretaro in Mexico's history, opened as part of the commemoration of the Bicentennial of the Independence and the Centennial of the Mexican Revolution, as well as the 70th anniversary of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH).

 

This new hall starts in 1767 in chronological order, with the expulsion of the Jesuits and culminates in 1917 with the promulgation of the Constitution of the Mexico.

 

The second area emphasizes on the difficult journey of building the Mexico we all know today, stating the conditions of the independent nation that led to the Mexican Revolution, the last major national social movement. The tour begins with the Ayutla Revolution in 1855 and culminates with the 1917 Constitution, promulgated in Queretaro and still current.

 

The 86 objects, arranged in chronological order, provide a tour of the issues that divide the rooms: The New Spain and Management of the Country, The Conspiracy of Querétaro, the War of Independence, independent Mexico and the country in danger, The dispute over the nation, Querétaro and Modernization Porfiriana 1889 and the Revolution of 1910.
