New Benito Juárez Museum Opens in Veracruz Ahead of Historic Anniversary

A new museum dedicated to Benito Juárez has opened in Veracruz, marking a key moment in Mexico’s history. The Benito Juárez House Museum stands on the site where the former president lived during the Republic’s most difficult years. Its launch coincides with the upcoming 170th anniversary of the Juárez Law, a landmark reform that reshaped the nation. President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo led the inauguration of the museum. She highlighted Juárez’s resistance against conservative forces and foreign intervention as a lesson in defending justice. His leadership, she noted, proved that privilege should never prevail over fairness. The museum’s opening comes ahead of the 170th anniversary of the Juárez Law in 2026. Its exhibits will document a pivotal era in Mexico’s struggle for independence and reform. The site now stands as both a historical record and a symbol of enduring liberal principles.
