Manuel F. Zárate House Museum, Traditional folklore museum in Distrito Guararé, Panama.

The Manuel F. Zárate House Museum is a small quincha house with a wooden roof, clay tiles and a tiled floor, set on the plot where Zárate was born. It has two exhibition rooms and a small garden with a bronze bust of Zárate by sculptor Carlos Arboleda, inaugurated on 25 September 1979.

The museum was established in 1969 at the birthplace of Manuel F. Zárate when residents from Los Santos, Herrera, and Veraguas provinces gathered to construct the building. This effort preserved the memory of a key figure in the region's cultural life.

The first room shows the silver diadem worn by queens of the Festival de la Mejorana between 1955 and 1982, alongside 20 volumes of newspaper clippings about the festival's early years. Costumes include polleras de encajes, a purple pollera skirt made around 1900, and the attire of the diablicos who dance at Corpus Christi.

The museum occupies a small quincha house with a wooden, tile-covered roof and tiled floors, divided into two exhibition rooms. A small garden holds a bronze bust of Manuel F. Zárate by sculptor Carlos Arboleda, unveiled on 25 September 1979. The building was closed for renovations from 2018 and reopened on 7 February 2020.

The second exhibition room preserves personal belongings of Manuel F. Zárate alongside research materials about traditional verse and decimal forms specific to Panama. Visitors can discover details about the literary and musical traditions he documented for the region.
