Pancho Villa's personal residence — a 50-room mansion called Quinta Luz — is now the city's most visited museum. Villa bought the house for his wife Luz Corral in 1914 during the height of the Revolution, and she lived here until her death in 1981, when she donated it to the state. The rooms are preserved much as they were: original furniture, photographs, weapons, and documents from Villa's life and the Revolution.
The centrepiece is the 1922 Dodge Brothers car in which Villa was assassinated, still bearing the bullet holes. It is one of the most evocative objects in any Mexican museum — a physical reminder that the Revolution ended not in victory or defeat but in a series of carefully organised murders. The museum also holds a detailed collection of period photographs and Villa's personal effects.
