Sonora in the Revolution Museum

This museum is a Government of the State of Sonora’s agency. This place was property of Don Francisco Obregon Tapia, son of the General Alvaro Obregon, who for a long time kept it as a private collection. Thanks to the efforts made by the State Government and Obregon’s family, this property has been enabled to exhibit everything that had been guarded by the relatives of General Alvaro Obregon. It opened to the public on October 29th, 2009. The museum has Don Alvaro Obregon as its principal figure, and has different scenarios about the valleys from the Yaqui and Mayo rivers, the Mexican Revolution, armed Sonoran people, and about the construction of contemporaneous Mexico.

Memory and Tolerance Museum

The Memory and Tolerance Museum delinates -in a didactic manner- the historical memory of the multiple genocides and crimes against humanity. The visit warns the viewer of the danger of difference, discrimination and violence in order to engender responsability, respect and consciousness in each and every person. Contemporary subjects are also presented in order to lead us to reflect on the role we wish to play in our every day lives. Tolerance, diversity, dialogue and empathy force us to see the commitment we all have to humanity. The visitor is invited to be generators of change through social action.

Reviewed By akimball2k - Mexico City, Mexico

This museum focuses initially on the World War II Holocaust and covers genocidal atrocities in other regions like Armenia, Guatemala, Rwanda, Bosnia, Darfur and others which I found to be a unique experience compared to other museum experiences I've had. While each exhibit is full of information, poignant, and approached with a multi-media experience, I really appreciated the corrollary to the exhibit: tolerance, commnunity, diversity, acceptance. This included the effects of modern day technology (fake news, social media) and certain presidents deriding certain nationalities which made me feel tremendously ashamed. I thought the temporary exhibit was well done, though a little juvenile, I'm glad this museum aims to plant seeds early and is accessible to all ages. I noticed in the bookstore that other temporary exhibitions are ones I regret missing, too. Really well done!
