Museo de Historia de Tabasco Casa de los Azulejos

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 occupies a two-story corner building in Villahermosa's historic center. Its facade is covered in glossy blue-and-white tiles arranged in a checkerboard pattern, with white pilasters, arched doorways, and a white balustrade topped by eleven statues, including Mercury at the corner.

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 nickname "Casa de los Azulejos" comes from the Catalan-made tiles covering the facade and interior walls and floors. A frieze between the floors shows a female profile in tile, identified as Cleopatra, and the corner statue atop the balustrade depicts Mercury, the Roman god of commerce.

The museum entrance is at the corner of Avenida 27 de Febrero and Calle Benito Juárez. Nine permanent exhibition halls follow a chronological order, with temporary exhibitions on the ground floor and five halls upstairs. Guided tours, a bookshop and regional crafts are available; it opens Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 to 17:00.

The roofline balustrade carries eleven sculptures: ten human figures and, at the corner, Mercury, the Roman god of commerce, a nod to the merchant who commissioned the house. A frieze between the floors shows tiles with the profile of Cleopatra.
