The home of the late Mexican singer Juan Gabriel has been transformed into an immersive museum, opening its doors in Ciudad Juárez eight years after his passing.  

Nestled near the U.S. border, the museum houses the urn containing his ashes and offers a journey into the life of the legendary artist. The experience, part of a larger complex, features an immersive gallery, a guided tour of the house, and plans to include a souvenir shop and a restaurant by October. 

Visitors begin their two-hour tour in the immersive room, where emotional moments from Juan Gabriel’s concerts are projected. A replica of his dressing room, meticulously recreated to reflect his personal preferences, adds to the intimate experience. 

The Memory of Juan Gabriel Lives On

The museum offers fans a glimpse into the private world of an artist known for his mysticism. Leticia Solares, the museum’s press coordinator, described how the singer would prepare for his performances by burning cloves and drinking green juices, habits tied to his spiritual beliefs. This personal connection is further emphasized as visitors explore the hidden room in the basement, where his favorite costumes, including the one worn at his final concert, are displayed alongside posters from his early performances and various awards, including Grammys and Heraldos.

In the heart of the museum lies the most intimate piece — the main room where Juan Gabriel’s ashes rest. His voice echoes through the space, captured during rehearsals, tuning sessions, and snippets of songs. The kitchen, gifted to him by Mexican actress María Félix, stands as a testament to his love for the home, a cherished space where he often hosted friends and artists like Lucha Villa and Lola Beltrán. 

Ascending the spiral staircase, visitors are led to the second floor, where the bedroom of the ‘Divo de Juárez’ is preserved, complete with numerous mirrors that once adorned his private quarters. The tour also includes his bathroom and guest rooms where fellow artists stayed during their visits for performances in Ciudad Juárez. 

What Visitors Can Expect

As part of its inaugural week, entry to the museum will be free, with ticket prices to be announced next week. Proceeds will benefit the Juan Gabriel Foundation, and tickets will be available through the ‘Museo Juan Gabriel’ app, accessible on all smartphones. 

Through its immersive experience and intimate portrayal of Juan Gabriel’s life, the museum stands as a tribute to his enduring legacy.
