The Casa de Benito Juárez has four rooms that serve as permanent exhibition rooms, dedicated to ethnographic works from Mexico and Mesoamerica. You can see some Mexican ceramics from the 17th and 18th centuries, found in archeological excavations in Old Havana. There are also textiles from the pre-Columbian time, real folk art, collections of silver- and copperwork, and a collection of engravings, work of some artists from Veracruz, as well as several writings in the Mesoamerican language that consist of mixed ideograms and pictogram, that were produced in the bark animal skins or trees.

The Alfonso Reyes library has a wide bibliographic collection with more than seven thousand texts on history, art and traditions of Mexico. Alfonso Reyes Ochoa was a Mexican writer, philosopher and diplomat. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature five times. One can find the complete collection of the magazine Arqueología Mexicana and numerous copies of the literary magazine El Hijo Prodigo in this library.
