Museo de Historia de Tabasco Casa de los Azulejos, History museum in central Villahermosa, Mexico.
The Museo de Historia de Tabasco Casa de los Azulejos is a history museum in downtown Villahermosa housed in a red brick building spanning two floors. The interior features Catalan-style vaulted ceilings and displays numerous decorative tile designs across its walls and surfaces.
The building was constructed in 1889 by Jacinto Cabrales as a private residence and commercial space. It later served various functions including government offices and a hotel before being converted to a museum in 1985.
The name refers to the decorative tiles that cover the building's surfaces, reflecting early 20th-century tastes for Catalan craftsmanship and design. As you walk through the halls, the tiles shape how each room looks and feels today.
The museum is laid out over two accessible floors with exhibition halls arranged in a logical sequence. You can move freely between spaces and take the stairs or elevators to navigate between the levels.
The building contains 42 different tile patterns distributed throughout its spaces. Remarkably, no pattern repeats between floors or rooms, creating a visual diversity that makes each area feel distinct.
