Casa Museo Carlos Pellicer Cámara, Historical house museum in Villahermosa, Mexico.

Casa Museo Carlos Pellicer Cámara occupies a single-story 19th-century Tabasco house with cedar-wood doors and windows and a two-slope roof of French clay tiles. Its plain facade has two masonry frames around the door and the only window. Inside, four rooms cover 20-year spans of the poet's life and hold 1,559 objects.

Carlos Pellicer Cámara was born in this 19th-century Tabasco house. The museum opened on 11 June 1985, eight years after the poet died in office as a senator for Tabasco on 16 February 1977. In March 1977 his remains were moved to the Rotonda de las Personas Ilustres in Mexico City.

The rooms display everyday items like clothing, hats, and personal accessories that give insight into how the poet lived and spent his days. Walking through, you can sense the person behind the literary work through these tangible objects from his life.

The museum is located in downtown Villahermosa within walking distance of other attractions. You can move through the rooms at your own pace, spending as much or as little time as you wish in each space.

The room Pellicer occupied from 1952 until his death in 1977 was in the old Museo de Tabasco, now the Museo Regional de Antropología Carlos Pellicer Cámara; its contents were moved here as a reproduction. The poet himself organized eight museums across Mexico, including the Parque Museo La Venta, whose Olmec pieces he had moved to Villahermosa to save them from destruction.
