Sala
This gallery explores the role Guerrero’s people played in the Mexican Revolution. The topics are presented in chronological order: the Maderista uprising; governors Figueroa and Lugo; land and justice movements such as Salgadismo and Zapatismo; the resistance against the Huerta military regime; the Zapatista occupation of Chilpancingo; the rise of Constitutionalism; Álvaro Obregón’s actions in Guerrero; and the post-revolution reconstruction. Period photographs, historical documents, symbolic tools and weapons, and lifelike mannequins help visitors get to know revolutionaries such as Ambrosio Figueroa, Julián Blanco, Jesús J. Salgado, Silvestre G. Mariscal, Amelia Robles Ávila, and Julio Astudillo Gómez.
