The Leon Trotsky House Museum, also known as the Trotsky Museum or Trotsky House Museum, is situated in the Coyoacán neighborhood of Mexico City. The official name of the museum is Instituto del Derecho de Asilo Museo Casa de León Trotsky, which translates to the Right of Asylum Institute Leon Trotsky House Museum. This museum is dedicated to honoring Leon Trotsky and promoting the concept of political asylum.
Historical Significance of the Museum
The museum is housed in the very building where Trotsky and his second wife, Natalia Sedova, resided from April 1939 until August 1940. This is also the location where Trotsky was assassinated. The house has been preserved in the same state as it was during that time, particularly the study where Trotsky was killed.

The museum attracts an average of 17,000 international visitors annually, in addition to 50,000 students who visit as part of trips organized by the Secretariat of Public Education. The museum's operations are funded solely through ticket sales and donations. The museum is open to the public from Tuesday to Sunday, between the hours of 10am and 5pm.
